Jugs Needed
Donna Morton’s class at Manchester School will be building an igloo the week of Jan 6. They need 128 gallon-sized plastic jugs. Because of a milk allergy they can’t use milk jugs, so they are looking for plastic gallon water or juice jugs. Drop off at Manchester School or call 892-1830.
Raising Money
The Windham Primary School’s second-grade community service project raised $630.73 for the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals on River Road. Students in Joyce Whidden’s, Beth Peavey’s, Rebecca Miller’s and Jacqueline McDermott’s (team teachers), Aggie Reichl’s, Lori Gurney’s, Kelly Rich’s and Sheila Smith’s (team teachers) classes raised the money that will help take care of the rescued horses at the farm.

Thanks
Windham Neighbors Helping Neighbors sends their grateful appreciation to recent donors Don and Jan Rich, Carl and Norma Kruger and Roland and Linda Tetrault. Their generosity will help keep Windham residents warm. As the days get colder, more requests for help with fuel are received. WNHN provides one-time fuel deliveries in critical situations. The only source of funds to provide this help is from donations and fundraisers. For information on how you can help, visit their website at www.windhamneighbors.org.
