Who
is Tom Turkey? Tom is sadly a featherless turkey who moves into the
Morse School Main Lobby for the month of November. During this month the
entire Morse community is encouraged to read books and purchase paper
feathers. One paper feather costs twenty–five cents.
These paper feathers are then added to Tom Turkey giving him a big
& beautiful feather tail by Thanksgiving. The money raised from
Tom’s feathers is donated to help families in need. In the past,
donations have been made to Home for Little Wanders, Cambridge YWCA,
East End House & Community Food Pantry.
This year’s Tom Turkey feathers will be on sale from November 1st
until November 26th and the money will be donated to a local food
pantry. Last year Tom had a total of 1,478 feathers and the money was
donated to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Sandy Relief.
We are hoping that he’ll have even more this year! So please READ! READ! READ!
