Spring Clothing & houseware drive starts this Monday April 8th. This is your chance to rid your closets and cupboards of unwanted items. Our goal is one FULL bag or more from each student. Bag & notice went home with the students before Spring Break.
Extra empty bags are available in front of school office. By the way, if you have some time on the three clothing drive mornings, between 9 – 9:45, please meet us at school in front of the gym. We can use your help to move and count all the bags. Thanks :) Spring Fair 2019 – Planning Begins – Call for Volunteers
