🫶Care Kits for Ronald McDonald House Families

As a school we will be collecting items to put together “care kits” for families while their sick child is in the hospital. These are ways for families to grab a quick snack, drink, or fun way to pass the time while they are heading out the door to the hospital. Care Kits will be assembled by SCA students but we are relying on donations from all families at Mosaic. Items and info can be found in the flyer below. Donations can be dropped off in the Main Office/SACC lobby and are due by December 18th.

♻️Pop Tab Collection

We will be collecting pop tabs/pull tabs like we did last year for the Ronald McDonald House Charity. RMHC gets money for recycling pop tabs and uses that money to help offset costs for families to stay nearby while their children are receiving long-term care. Pop tabs are due by December 20th.
