Morning jam wraps up BPA’s adopt-a-family funding
By Sarah Yang
As you strolled past the IMC this morning, an unusally melodic sound caught you off guard. Before you could help yourself, you found yourself walking toward the open, welcoming doors, drawn magnetically, involuntarily. As you approached, your head began to bob to the rhythm of the Christmas songs ringing in your ears. After all, you do love the holiday season.
You entered and saw Anoka’s 7th Avenue choir standing erect at the front of the IMC, caroling away. With a smile, you quickly searched for a seat and sat down to watch the performance when your stomach reminded you that you skipped breakfast. Without missing a beat, however, your nose directed your eyes to a counter stocked full of donuts, coffee, hot chocolate, and muffins. The carolers’ sweet voices are pushed back into your subconscious as you bee-lined to the food.
Greeted by BPA members, you purchase your breakfast and returned to your seat for a satisfying breakfast-and-a-show. Little did you know that you just donate to BPA’s annual adopt-a-family project.
Todays’ morning jam was the last of BPA’s funding activities for this project. They raised another $121 to add to their current adopt-a-family savings
“We did very well,” Ms. B
ement, BPA director, said. BPA will be heading out sometime in the upcoming week to purchase gifts for the family and deliver them.
Before the 2010 year goes out, BPA has one more task at hand: They will be answering “Dear Santa” letters from students at Crooked Lake Elementary School. They look forward to reading the enlightening letters from Santa’s favorites: kindergarteners.
