C.W. McGraw Elementary School Invites All Students to Join the Bring Cheer Campaign

The Student Council at C.W. McGraw Elementary School launched its third year of the “Bring Cheer Campaign” to provide holiday cards and cheerful messages to Yuma community members. Their goal is to gather 5,000 holiday cards and deliver them to assisted living homes, shelters and first responders during the holiday season.

The Bring Cheer Campaign originally launched in November, 2020 to deliver cheerful holiday messages to those isolated due to COVID-19. Students across all District One Schools created 1,900 cards in the first year, and 4,100 cards in the second year. With growing participation, including participants at Crane School District and Southwestern Christian School, McGraw Student Council is hoping to collect and deliver 5,000 hand-made and digital cards this holiday season.

McGraw Student Council leader Mark De Young, “is encouraging each classroom to set aside time to watch the invitation video and create a general holiday card that can bring cheer to people who make a difference and/or need extra cheer during the holiday time.” All created cards can be sent to McGraw Elementary by December 2, 2022 where the student Council will count and sort the cards for delivery.
