SJG Student Council / 5th Grade School Service Project Update
I wanted to share some pictures of our service project. The Student Council and 5th grade were looking to put together 100 hygiene bags for the homeless. Because of the generosity of our school community, they were able to put together over 400 bags!! This is very impressive and should warm the hearts of everyone in our community. SJG Cares!!!

The Food Pantry Needs Our Help!! Please Bring Items To School!
The Pequannock Food Pantry is almost out of items. The holiday season hits the food pantry very hard. We reached out to them to see how we can help and they provided us with a list that we divided up amongst the schools. Below is what we were tasked with providing. Items can be dropped off at any time. We will have boxes ready for collection. Please help us keep the pantry open so our neighbors who need help can get it! Thank you for considering!
