10. UPCOMING EVENTS NOVEMBER/DECEMBER Department of Human Resources – Christmas Wish List Program Many children do not get to spend the Holiday’s with their family but instead are placed in foster care during the Holiday’s. We will adopt 2 or 3 children and purchase the gifts they have on their wish list.

11. DHR Christmas Wish List We will be given a Christmas Wish List for the number of children we choose to adopt. Names will be given but these will not be their true name. DHR will protect their identity because it could be students who sit next to you in class. We will need to come up with a way to raise money to purchase these gifts!

12. Suggestions? We could just post the items on the list and see if students want to go in together and purchase a gift. We could have a fundraiser to raise the money and have a FBLA shopping trip to Wal Mart after school. WE WILL wrap the presents and label them. DHR will come by the school to pick up the presents.
