We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our students, staff and families who collected well over five hundred non-perishable canned goods during our very successful, school-wide winter charity drive to assist local families in need. Our amazing student volunteers carefully boxed up all the wonderful food donations and quickly delivered them directly to the busy local food pantry early Friday morning. We are so incredibly grateful to our remarkably generous, thoughtful and compassionate school community for enthusiastically supporting this truly great humanitarian cause during the challenging cold winter months.
