The holiday season is approaching and we are starting to collect donations in support of our North families in need. As always, we will be accepting gift card donations, which in the past have included gift cards for gas stations, grocery stores, big-box stores, restaurants, online retailers, and home improvement stores. All gift card donations should be dropped off in the main office. If you are interested in supporting a family in need this holiday season or donating items other than gift cards, please contact our social workers, Amanda Wood (awood@d47.org) or Valerie Skala (vskala@d47.org) for more information. No matter the donation, we are appreciative of the support for our North Community. We hope you have an awesome holiday season! Donations of gift cards, food, etc., are accepted throughout the school year. Thank you!
