Help Support Albemarle Elementary Through Harris Teeter
Through education programs funded through Harris Teeter, we can all make a difference. This program helps area schools like Albemarle Road Elementary when we go shopping throughout the school year. With 81% of the students at Albemarle Elementary being on free or reduced-priced lunches (state average is 48%), the school staff certainly appreciates and will gladly accept the additional funding that these donations can provide. Harris Teeter has a ?Together in Education? program. When customers purchase select Harris Teeter Brand products using their VIC card, Harris Teeter contributes a percentage of those purchase dollars to the school of your choice. All you have to do is link your VIC card at a store or online. The VIC # for Albemarle Road Elementary is 1504. Thank you for your support of these wonderful outreach programs.
Albemarle Road Elementary Backpacks Of Food Program
Our new backpack program is helping to feed many children at Albemarle Road Elementary over the weekends during the school year. This project came about after teachers began learning through the students' daily journals about kids leaving school on Friday and not eating again until Monday morning when they arrive at school.
To help, our congregation has teamed up with Metrolina Food Bank to fill book bags with food for these children to take home. The food is child-friendly (can open and eat by themselves) such as beanie-weenies, spaghettios, cereal, apple sauce, canned fruit and canned fruit juices. The backpacks contain enough food to feed 4 people for 2 days.
This project requires 2 volunteers from our church each Thursday to pick up the backpacks around 10:30 am at the Metrolina Food Bank in a vehicle that can hold up to 60 bags. They then deliver the bags to the school by noon. This generally takes 1 � hours to complete. We?ll be delivering book bags until June when school is out for the summer.
When we launched this project at the end of September 07, we started with 17 backpacks. On January 18, we delivered 40 backpacks. On February 28, we delivered 48 backpacks. On April 3, our volunteers delivered 63 backpacks of food. The numbers are growing as the teachers learn which children are going hungry over the weekends. Thank you for your continued support of our mission efforts for Albemarle Elementary.
Goodie Bags
Each Sept & May, the missions committee puts together goodie bags for the staff at Albemarle Elementary. The bags include candy, pens, stickers, magnets, homemade cookies, nail files, tea bags, hot chocolate mix, etc. These bags are put together with loving hearts to let the staff at Albemarle Elementary know we?re thinking about them. If you?d like to contribute some goodies, we?d love to have more items for the bags.
