Good morning, Town and Country families!
Many of you may already be familiar with Clifton Taulbert’s Eight Habits of the Heart. For those who are new, Taulbert’s book highlights eight core principles he learned from his elders: a nurturing attitude, dependability, responsibility, friendship, brotherhood, high expectations, courage, and hope. His belief is that by practicing and teaching these habits, we strengthen not only ourselves but also the communities we belong to. At Town and Country, we deeply value this philosophy and the positive impact it has on our school community.
In the spirit of living out these habits, we are excited to announce that Town and Country will be partnering with different local nonprofits throughout the year. These partnerships give our students and families the opportunity to support organizations that are making a real difference in Tulsa. In the past, we’ve worked with wonderful groups such as Coffee Bunker, Toys for Tots, The Demand Project, and Emergency Infant Services—together providing many much-needed items.
For the month of September, we are proud to partner with The Oklahoma Alliance for Animals (OAA). This organization helps feed the pets of Tulsa’s homeless community and cares for shelter animals until they find their forever homes.
The OAA is currently in great need of the following items:
- IAMS Minichunks Adult Dog Food
- Cat Food (wet or dry)
- Odoban Disinfectant
- Paper Towels
- Clorox Wipes
- Rescue Brand Cleaner
- Tall Kitchen Garbage Bags
- Ultra-Strong Hefty Garbage Bags
- Nylabones
- Dog Leads (FIDA)
- Cascade Platinum Dishwasher Tablets
- Lysol Surface Cleaner and/or All-Purpose Cleaner
- Dog Toys
- Dog Blankets
Donations may be dropped off in the 8 Habits shelf/donation box located in front of Ms. Laub’s desk at the main entrance. Please bring all items by Tuesday, September 30th.
Let’s come together as a community to support OAA and the animals they care for!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me at aforehand@tandcschool.org or to Shelley Holmes at sholmes@tandcschool.org.
Thank you for helping us make a difference!
