Julian House is the largest program for women who need help in San Diego County.  There are two shelters, Julian’'s Anchorage and Julian's Sanctuary, which house the women and their children.  At any one given time, there are as many as 32 children living in the shelters. 

 The Board of Julian House will be putting together spring baskets for the children who live there and could use your help.  Donations of new school supplies would be greatly appreciated and will be included in the baskets.  If you can donate any new pencils, erasers, pens, notebooks, rulers, crayons, markers, backpacks, calculators, or lunch boxes, you will surely brighten someone's day!  Please bring all donations to your classroom by Wednesday, April 9, 2003.  The Board of Julian House thanks you so much for your generosity!!

Children's Hospital,  this is to collect items for Children's Hospital.  Please bring in: videos and board games that you no longer want and new new baseball hats.  (The board games needs to be in good condition with all the pieces included).  If you have any questions please see your fifth grade teacher.
