News From PTA

 

Cereal Box Dominos! 

As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the spirit of giving and the joy of helping others. This year, the PTA invites you to spread warmth and kindness to those in need.

The PTA will collect unopened cereal boxes from December 9th to 12th to place in our domino chain throughout the school. Let’s see how big our cereal box domino chain can get! All cereal will be donated to Cornerstones to help our community. 

Cereal drop off can be found in the front lobby of the school. Any type of cereal is welcome! The domino topple will be on Dec 13th. Time will be announced closer to the date.
