Counting down to Thanksgiving break, we are highlighting community organizations that our school will help out during the MVMS Holiday Wish Drive. Today, it’s the Marin Foster Parents Association. Did you know that there are about 85 Marin kids living in foster homes? They might be sitting next to you in class, playing against you on a team or living across the street from you. You may never know it, because most foster kids don’t talk about their situations. They just want to live a regular life like yours that includes a special present at the holidays. By making a donation at our Holiday Wish drive, you can let them know that someone in the community is thinking of them.
