HAPPY HAMPER PROJECT--preparation

Dear 2N1,
With regards to the Happy Hamper Project, please refer to the following:

1) Providing scotch tapes, baskets, boxes, red ribbons and wrapping papers.
Tapping and securing all the items will need large quantity of scotch tapes and red wrapping papers. Therefore, please contribute the above mentioned items as possible.
You have to provide weaved baskets or plastic trays to act as the base for the hamper.


2) Donated items
please try to limit 20 items per class and there should be a wide variety of items donated. Kindly avoid collecting items such as story books clothes. For can food, check for expiry dates. So for pupils who dont have ready can food at home, you may want to consider getting item one which are the scotch tapes etc. Edrick and Peiqi, please help me to do a recording of who donate what items.

3) Number of helpers
I would like to have 4 helpers to do the wrapping. Any experts volunteer? I really hope you all can volunteer.

Thank you class and do share the joy with the less fortunate!
