Dear Parents,
Our next FACT meeting is coming up on Tuesday, February 13 th from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm. There
will be childcare provided again with snacks and lots of fun. For this meeting, we decided to do
something different with childcare. Ms. Cotton and her BPA students are working together as a
team to create bags for the backpack food program. Two years ago, BPA received a grant from
North West Federal Credit Union for the backpack for food program. This amazing program
grew rapidly from there. We decided to get our FACT kids involved with constructing food bags.
Our goal is to produce 120 bags for this amazing program. If you would like to donate to this
incredible program Thursday night, we could use plastic bags (grocery bags or gallon Ziploc
bags) and/or non-perishable foods (granola bars or applesauce). We did this same program when I
lived in Georgia and we created 500 bags. This was such an incredible experience for me. This is
not the only thing we will be doing with the kids Thursday night; we will have open gym for the
kids to play in too. We are so excited to help Ms. Cotton and her BPA students. We hope to see you
all there!!!!
Thank you,
Mindy Schrecengost
FACT Childcare Coordinator
