Newsletter: December 1
Dear Common Ground Community,
We have been so excited about our #GivingTuesday #GiveFundGiveTime campaign and today is the day! It is Giving Tuesday TODAY! Here’s an update on what we have raised this season:
We have raised just over $2000 that qualified for matching funds! We still have another $3000 in matching funds that we can earn as well!
Our community members have mentioned that they are making time for things that they normally wouldn’t think to do - pledging to give small first and grow from there
Teacher Bonus - Parents have been INCREDIBLY generous this season and Common Ground will be matching those funds to make the the Holidays extra special for the teachers! It’s not too late to contribute. Please either email Liz - liz@commongroundchildcare.org, make a donation through the PayPal Giving Fund, or send funds directly through PayPal (friends and family, please) - commonground1700@gmail.com
Looking forward - we are excited to continue the spirit of giving within our community, by highlighting the multiple ways that you can participate in the way that works for you! Take the time to read our #GiveTime post today, because we are giving super special permission to GIVE TIME TO YOURSELF.
Our New Lunch Menu is LIVE! Remember, you can also access the Lunch Menu from:

And as a reminder - Common Ground is a NUT FREE center. This includes Peanuts and Tree Nuts. Certain classrooms have additional restrictions so please make sure to check before bringing any treats into the center - including if they are just intended for the staff - so that we can make sure to protect those with allergies in our center.
