FROM NOW UNTIL DECEMBER FIRST, FLEX THOSE GIVING MUSCLES!
This year, for Giving Tuesday, Common Ground Childcare is running our #GiveTimeGiveFunds campaign.
We are asking for a pledge time OR funds OR both, and we are asking you to give slowly, with care, and with self-forgiveness if it feels too small. No act of kindness is too small.
GIVE FUNDS
WE ALREADY HAVE AN ANONYMOUS DONOR from outside the Common Ground network that has pledged $5,000 in matching funds! Share our message, you never know who is ready to give to a fun cause…
Our BIG Fundraising Event of this #GivingTuesday season is…
THE STUPENDOUS STUFFY SLEEPOVER!! Have your kids’ favorite stuffed toy come out to Common Ground Childcare to sing, dance, play, read, and be GOOFY! They will be returned to your door the next day with a delightful goodie bag of presents and stories to tell…

GIVE TIME
We are pledging 5 minutes a day until December 1st, and we are only asking for you to do the same.
Do you think you can do more than that? GREAT! Pledge it! We want to see what our community is capable of, because we know it is incredible!
What can you do in five minutes? CHECK OUT OUR FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM for ideas every single day!

STAY AT HOME WITH SANTA — SAVE THE DATE
What: A half hour event where kids will get to meet Santa with ten other families! While the kids in the main room get to build a craft, sing holiday songs, and hear updates from the North Pole, kids will go into a break out room one at a time to get a little chat with Santa by themselves.
When: December 12th, starting at 8:30 AM (half hour increments)
Where: YOUR LIVING ROOM! Once you are signed up, we will send you a ZOOM link for your reservation!
How: Santa's Elves will do drop offs of a goodie bag with treats, a craft, and a SPECIAL COMMON GROUND LIMITED EDITION HOLIDAY ORNAMENT. Once you are in the zoom room, your kids will be able to interact with everyone and do the craft together. We will explain it all day of as well!
If there are two or more children in one household: Sign up for one zoom ticket and do add-ons for the rest of them! That way everyone gets a goodie bag.
Tickets: $25.00 +$10.00 for each additional bag in the household
Ornaments: $10.00 a piece
SIGN UP LAUNCHES DECEMBER 2ND
THE THANKSGIVING BOXES ARE COLLECTED, AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL!!
I am honestly humbled and moved by the incredible generosity of our families here in Common Ground.
Because of you, I promised six boxes and we will be bringing TEN to Cornerstones for needy families around Reston.
For looking beyond your own stresses and suffering, for looking outward and working together,
We thank you from the bottom of our full hearts.
Love Love Love,
LJ and your Common Ground Family
