Each year, millions of kids across this country go trick-or-treating. Some of those students also take along a UNICEF box to collect coins for those children who live in communities where basic needs (i.e., clean water, comfort from disease carrying mosquitoes, immunizations, ample food/sustenance) are sometimes in short supply. Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF began in 1950 as a way to help kids who need more than candy. Since then, children all over America have gone door-to-door on Halloween with UNICEF collection boxes, calling out, "Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF!" They have raised more than $170 million for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF since 1950.
Sprague supports these efforts, and this week your child will receive a UNICEF box that they could bring along when they trick-or-treat. The UNICEF boxes will come home with your child(ren) on Tuesday, October 28th. **If you participate, all UNICEF boxes should be returned to the Sprague Main Office by Friday, November 7th.** If you would like to write a check and or receive one, it should be made out to "U.S. Fund for UNICEF". Thank you!
