Denver Lions donated $605 at the last meeting in December and at our holiday party to make the contributions to Eiber Elementary kids and families possible. The donations went in the form of gift cards from King Soopers.
Dear Lions,
My name is Cynthia Saunders, I have the honor to work as a family Engagement Liaison here at Eiber Elementary, and like everyone who works at our school, our children and their families become our own. I would like to share our story with you.
We are a Title One school, most of our children are in the free and reduced lunch program. We serve mostly low-income families and families experiencing homelessness. And even though sometimes it is an uphill struggle , we know we can count with the support of our community.
One fine example of this is YOU, LIONS; special thanks to our Angels in disguise … Mrs. Myrna Ann who no matter what, makes sure our little ones are taken care of. This past Christmas, when I called her she was on her way to Mongolia, but she always answer our calls. And ones again , make our Holidays Merry and Bright….
For our Eiber Elementary family, Christmas is always the most wonderful magical time of the year. Like every other family this is the Season were we find ourselves singing in the hallways, eating treats and our children behaving their BEST. We get to breathe that magical breeze Christmas creates. Our staff become elves working for Santa, and thanks to your donations we could serve our low-income families.
Our teachers went shopping for food for the 2 week holiday break ( we know many of our families count on the food that is served here at the school ) We also bought gifts for under the tree and sent gift cards for food with our larger families.
Thank you for your generous gift to our children . There are no words that can fully describe the impact that your support means in our community. We feel blessed to have you on board.
Warmly, Cynthia Saunders Family Engagenment Liaison, Eiber Elementary
