Hello, our Washburn Family!  The Peace Jam group at Washburn High School is doing a service project to help homeless youth. This is a project very near and dear to our hearts. We hope you can help us fulfill our goal of providing basic essentials to our homeless youth in Minneapolis.

Peace Jam is an organization founded to get kids motivated to help people all around the world fight off pollution, racism, sexism and many other threats. This year, the small, but very capable Peace Jam group at Washburn High has decided to aid MPS homeless youth. We are currently asking people at several schools to donate bare essentials. We will give the donations to shelters that provide help for homeless youth.

We ask you now if you could donate a few of the things listed below:

• Lotion – travel size
• Shampoo – travel size
• Deodorant
• Mini soap bars
• Combs/brushes/picks
• Hand sanitizer
• Bus Tokens
• Warm hats/scarves/gloves
• Space Blankets

If you are willing to help and donate these products to us, please contact us at: Lisa.Jensen@mpls.k12.mn.us or billy.perkiss@mpls.k12.mn.us. Or you can just bring materials to Lisa’s office or room 208. Thank you very much and we hope you will help us! The sooner the better and thank you, Washburn Peace Jam.
