A Letter From The Assistant Principal

Dear Hero Families,

We are excited to invite you to partner with us in teaching our students about the power of community through a special service project! Throughout the month of March, we will be hosting a school-wide food drive to collect non-perishable items for local food pantries. This project is a great way for students to learn about kindness, generosity, and the importance of helping others in need.

We encourage you to join us by donating canned goods, pasta, rice, and other non-perishable food items. Students can bring donations to school, and we will track our progress as a community. This is a wonderful opportunity to talk with your child about the impact of giving and how small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

Thank you for your support in making our food drive a success! Your involvement helps reinforce the values of compassion and service that we strive to teach every day. If you have any questions or would like to get more involved, please reach out to us. We look forward to seeing how much we can accomplish together!

Sincerely,

Michelle Staley
