KAY Club will be holding their annual food drive during the week of November 18-22. We will be collecting nonperishable food items. We will donate all the food we collect to Johnson County Christmas Bureau which is an organization that helps those in need. They are especially in need of peanut butter, canned meats, cereal, rice, canned fruits and vegetables and pasta. Last year as a school we donated over 1000 food items. We are hoping to do the same this year. The WAG class that brings in the most will be receiving donuts! Thanks so much in advance for helping those in need.

Auditions for the winter play are December 5th and 6th! Students can grab an audition packet outside room 601. Reach out to Mrs. Davis for more information. ddavisprt@olatheschools.org
