Mrs. Hendry's Retirement Gift to Home Sweet Home
Dear parents and friends of Mrs. Hendry:
Our beloved Mrs. Hendry is retiring! We hope you will consider contributing to a donation celebrating her service to our children.
Last April, Mrs. Hendry's family collaborated with Home Sweet Home and Kirkwood United Methodist Church to organize a service project to honor the memory of her son. This effort built Ikea dressers for Home Sweet Home. Home Sweet Home collects furniture donations and gives them to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness and into their own homes. Families get to shop in a warehouse and pick out the furniture and housewares they would like for their new homes. Some of Mrs. Hendry's students helped build the dressers. Attached is a picture of the Hendry family making dresses at last year's event.
The dressers cost $40 each from Ikea. The dressers are a great size for children, and Home Sweet Home made sure that every child that came in to shop for furniture left with a dresser. One little girl came in with siblings, and when she found out she was getting her own dresser she would not have to share with her siblings, she burst into tears. There is another service project to remember and honor loved ones planned for the first weekend of November - the money we raise for her retirement gift can go toward this project to build Ikea dressers (and possibly other furniture if that is what is needed) for Home Sweet Home. Fingers crossed the pandemic is better by then so our kids can help out!
The funds you donate will be deposited directly into Home Sweet Home's bank account.
Thank you! Please spread the word but let's keep it a surprise for Mrs. Hendry until the last day of school!
A big thank you to Julie Sherwood (Kirkwood United Methodist Church), Betsy Reznicek (Home Sweet Home), and Susan Giraudo (Nora's mom) for helping to put this together!
