FCCLA Food Drive
FCCLA (Family, Community, and Career Leaders of America) is partnering with our local CCAP to collect nonperishable food items to support the upcoming holiday season food box distribution. This collection drive helps local families to provide holiday meals to their households. Please consider participating by sending in unexpired, non-perishable food items now through November 13th. Each grade level class that brings in the most items will be rewarded a class treat from two local businesses who have helped by contributing.
6th grade: Top class receives a "Dunkin Donut" for each student and their teacher.
7th grade: Top class receives a "Dunkin Donut" for each student and their teacher.
8th grade: Top class receives a "Crumbl Cookie" free cookie card for each student and their teacher.
There will also be collection bags placed in the main office if you would like to drop additional items off at the school. We appreciate your generosity in helping our student organization make our community a better place for everyone. Thank you!
