Sample Family Letter and Announcement

Sample Family Letter

Dear Family Members,
In our classroom, we have been learning about the needs and wants of animals and how to take care of them properly. We are learning that pets can communicate with us and that they have needs and wants that are similar to those of humans.

In one of our last books we learned about the animal shelter and how they care for pets too.  We would like to help our local animal shelter by donating needed items.  We have asked the shelter about their needs and wants and the children have decided to collect these items.
• (List items)

We are setting up collection sites around our school for the next _____ days/weeks. Please send items with your child to be given to the local animal shelter not later than_______________(Date)
Thank you for helping us with this special project.

Sincerely,
