Operation Helping Hands . . .
Local families need your help. Did you know that 1 in 10 people in our community don’t know where they will get their next meal?? You can help by donating to Operation Helping Hand. From now until March 8th we are collecting donations of non-perishable food supplies. All food items are welcome, however, the following items are specifically requested:
- Kindergarten - 2nd Grade - Fruit Juice, Cereal, Peanut Butter, Canned Chicken, & Soup
- 3rd & 4th Grade - Applesauce, Canned fruit, Canned Vegetables, Canned Tuna, Beans
- 5th & 6th Grade - Canned Pasta, Oatmeal, Rice, Pasta
This is a great way to make a positive impact on the lives of those who are less fortunate. Please drop off your donations in the rotunda by March 8th!
Making Titus Beautiful Takes A Lot of Work . . .
The Warrington Township Environmental Advisory Council has presented Titus with a unique opportunity to cultivate a butterfly garden in our front courtyard. In order to begin this process, we are in need of coffee grounds (they can be transported to school in a sealed Ziploc bag) and old newspapers. We will be collecting these items through mid-March.
If we have any Scouts out there looking for a project, we’ve got the perfect one. We would like to build a container to house some of the host plants for our butterflies. We are looking for someone to construct a 1.5 foot by 6 ft. box about 6-8 inches high. If you are interested in building this for our garden, please contact Mrs. Walls.
