Student Council Food Drive
Food Drive
Dear Students and Families,
This holiday season, let's come together to support those in need by participating in our Canned Food Drive! From December 2nd to December 13th, we will be collecting canned and non-perishable food items to donate to local food banks.
How you can help:
  • Bring in canned goods, such as soups, vegetables, fruits, and other non-perishable items.
  • Drop off your donations at the designated collection bins in the school lobby.
  • Encourage friends and family to participate!
Your generosity will make a difference in our community, ensuring that those in need have access to food during the winter months.
Let’s spread holiday cheer and show the power of giving. Every can counts!
Thank you for your support!
