Calling All Gift Givers!

Want to help? It’s simple!

  2. Receive a wishlist of what they want
  3. Go shopping for the items on your person’s wishlist
  4. Roots and Shoots members can wrap your gifts for you if drop them off at Marie Murphy by December 14
  5. Or, wrap the presents yourself and drop them off at Marie Murphy by December 18!

Going Green at the Intercultural Dinner 
The D37 Green Committee would like to thank Go Green Wilmette for their continued support, as well as Marie Murphy's Roots & Shoots members, Kalifa H. and Penny D. This terrific team of kids and adults generously volunteered time at our recent Intercultural Dinner. We hosted a low-waste event by using compostable materials and by sorting the waste, and we successfully diverted over 200 pounds of waste from the landfill, in addition to educating the community about composting.
