Dear Students and Parents,
In the past few years, we have sent care packages to the men and women from our area in the military. This year we will do it again, and we have received a generous donation of Fire Department Coffee to add to the packages. We are asking students and their families to bring items to fill the care packages to show our thankfulness for the sacrifice and hard work these service people do for us and our country. Please consider bringing the items listed below to add to the packages. We will need your items by November 19th, 2021, so that we can get them mailed in time for the holidays.
