END
OF YEAR DRIVES:
We
will be conducted a food drive and a used magic marker drive through the end of
the school year.
Food Drive: During
the school year, Abiding Presence Lutheran Church provides extra food for some
of our community families. We thought it would be fitting for us to partner
with them and try to fill their cupboards for whoever needs over the summer.
Please bring in any non-perishable items to the school (such as cereal,
oatmeal, soup, pasta, pasta sauce, granola bars, crackers, apple sauce, fruit
cups, peanut butter, tuna, beans).
Magic Marker Drive:
We love recycling! If you have markers that no longer work, please send them
into the school. We will send them to Crayola once school is out to be
recycled. The markers can be any brand.

event so special. Same time, same place, 2068?
