Letter from Soldiers' Angels

Throughout the school year, Gombert students and Student Council have been making "G" cards.  These cards were part of a program to provide free stationary to any of our armed forces so they could write to family and friends while away on duty.  Since the beginning of the year, there has been a collection bin located in the LMC where students can donate completed cards.  This "G" card program has been a huge success and the students have made hundreds of cards that we have sent to a program called Soldiers' Angels.  The first big batch of cards was sent in December and a second batch of cards will be sent in May.

Recently, Gombert's Student Council received a little "thank you" note from Soldiers' Angels.  The program just wanted to send us a note about the 21 bags of cards, envelopes, and pens that were donated.  Each bag had 10 cards of varying sizes and envelopes.

Letter from Ronald McDonald House

Since the beginning of the year, Gombert's Student Council has had a collection jar in the LMC for pop tops. All of the pop tops are being collected for Ronald McDonald House charities.







Recently, the large amount of pop tops was taken to a donation center and sent in to Ronald McDonald House.  They were kind enough to send us a little note!

Letter from Lifespring

In February, Gombert's Student Council held a two-week long clothing drive. All of the clothing collected was to be donated to Lifespring Ministry.  The program was titled Gifts from the Heart.  The students did a great job of telling their classes about donations and there were many Gators that donated. 

On the last collection date, the clothing was sent to Lifespring on behalf of the Gombert Student Council.  The charity was thrilled with our donation and sent us a wonderful 'thank you' letter.  Below is the letter from Lifespring Ministries.

Congratulations to Josh who is a finalist!  He won a $200 savings bond, prize package, a pizza party fo his class, and a congratulatory plaque recognizing him.

Congratulations to Abhi who is the GRAND PRIZE winner.  He won a $1,000 savings bond, prize package, a pizza party for his class, and a congratulatory plaque recognizing him.

Abhi's teacher will receive a classroom grant of $1,000 and a congratulatory plaque for her student winning the GRAND PRIZE.

The contest was to design a poster to show how to become more aware of how you use energy and the effect on the environment.  Entries were judged on how effectively they communicated the theme of energy efficiency and the visual presentation of that idea.

Congrats again to Josh and Abhi!
