Kim and I would like to thank each and every one of you that donated to SS-GOLLF (School Supplies-Gifts of Learning Last Forever) this year. There were so many children that needed help this year. It was very heartening to have Royal Highlands be such an important part in these student s lives. I would like to share with you a thank-you from Minneola Elementary. Dona Nash Words cannot express our gratitude for your generous gifts of school supplies. These gifts helped provide school supplies to many of our needy students. Not only were we able to provide immediate supplies to current students, but were also able to store complete sets for incoming needy students. Imagine how a new student will feel when given an organized supply of necessary tools for success. Through your donations, we were also able to send home Homework Helper kits this year. These kits included the basic supplies students need at home to complete necessary take home assignments. Each kit included a pencil box, scissors, crayons and glue. None of this would have been possible without your generosity and time spent making this happen. Once again, we thank you and invite you to visit our school sometime. Sincerely, Sherry A. Watts Sherry A. Watts Principal, Minneola Elementary 6
