Montessori Corner Schools Donate Items to U.S. Military Members

Students collected more than 240 pounds of cookies, snacks and toiletries for AdoptaPlatoon®

Students at Montessori Country Day School and Princeton Meadows in Plainsboro, and Children’s House of the Windsors in West Windsor recently partnered to collect more than 240 pounds of food and supplies for AdoptaPlatoon, which sends care packages to deployed U.S. military members. Throughout December, students held a donation drive to collect cookies, snacks and toiletries for care packages that will be sent to troops around the world. At the end of the drive, students organized and prepared the donation for delivery to the organization. Through this initiative, students learned the importance of giving back to others.

AdoptaPlatoon Soldier Support Effort is dedicated to serving deployed U.S. military members, ensuring that they are not forgotten by a grateful nation. AdoptaPlatoon provides ongoing care packages to improve quality of life and raise morale for those serving overseas in the Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Special Forces.
