Please Donate Art Supplies
Christine and Abby’s First Grade class is collecting new or gently used art supplies (from now until the end of May) for Father Joe’s Villages, a local homeless shelter that houses 950 men, women, and children. The first graders came up with the idea of collecting art supplies because art is one of their favorite things to do, and they wish for the children at Father Joe’s to have the same opportunities as they have! There will be a plastic bin outside of their classroom (Room 401) so please drop donations off there. They are looking for: markers, paint, clay, play-dough, crayons, colored pencils, yarn, beads, or whatever you can think of that is art-related!
Bake Sale Wednesday
This Wednesday the 8th grade is hosting a bake sale to raise funds for their end of the year trip. All baked goods will cost $1. Thank you for your support.
