Your Money At WorkThe PTC has filled Mrs. Bourn's request for alternative recess options by purchasing games, chalk and other activities to be used during recess. We are thrilled to provide new recess choices for everyone to enjoy!
Eliot Holiday Giving ProjectFollowing Thanksgiving break, the guidance counselors at Eliot will once again be running the Eliot Holiday Giving Projects.  This project distributes gift cards to some Eliot families who could use some assistance this holiday season. If your family would like to donate a gift card to the project, please stop by the Holiday Giving Project bulletin board located inside the front doors and take a gift card wish-list mitten. On the back of each mitten is the name of a local store where a gift card can be purchased and brought back to school. There is a box on the counter of the main office to put the gift cards in.
We have all experienced challenging times at one point or another. If your family could use an “extra hand” this season, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Eliot guidance counselors to add your family's wish to our giving project.
Jimmy Fund Toy DriveA bin is located in the Eliot lobby for collecting items for the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana-Farber.  If you would like to donate to this amazing cause please bring a NEW and UNWRAPPED TOY, BOOK or GAME and drop it in the donation bin in the Eliot lobby. For more information please see this FLYER or contact Eliot parent, Beth Garabedian.
