We have changed some of the details for our annual food drive after feedback from the community recently. We have families in our own boundary who need help, and are impacted by recent economic factors. We are asking for every student and staff member to try and bring one can/box item next week. (Monday - Thursday) We are using the messaging "One can makes a difference" and trying to highlight charity and service are not always a question of individual amount, but the collective good we can accomplish. Thank you for your support, and for the communication and collaboration. We look forward to seeing the good we can accomplish together this school year.
