PRESS RELEASE

N. Haledon Coop sending Holiday Cards to Soldiers!

November 15, 2010, North Haledon, NJ. – A dab of green paint here, a touch of red marker there, and it’s perfect. Children of the North Haledon Cooperative Nursery School are putting finishing touches on artwork and cards that will mailed to oversea U.S. military soldiers! Spearheaded by Teacher Aid, Alice Lembo, the cards and artworks will be sent those deployed in distant countries, such as, Afghanistan, Iraq, Japan, Germany, and many others. The children will sign their first name, age, and write they are from the N.H. Coop. A warm holiday wish, small personal note or “thank you” mean so much to personnel away from home. “The winter holidays are often a difficult time for those deployed. Often times there are troops who receive little to nothing during the holiday season. Our goal is to have a card for each deployed soldier during the holidays extending them warm wishes and appreciation during what may feel like a lonely time for them. Kind words from strangers are the very motivation that they need to stay focused in their mission of defending this country.” “They do so much for us, a simple card is the least we can do to brighten their day and holiday,” as stated by Operation Christmas Cards.

The North Haledon Cooperative Nursery School is “Where Children and Parents Grow and Learn Together.” The school is proud to be serving the community for its 44th school year.
