AVID @ The Hill
Fossil Hill Middle School is working with Fossil Ridge High School to support the Blue Box Project, a project stemmed from an AVID Senior who had a passion for helping women who suffer from domestic violence. Sadly, this wonderful student is no longer with us, but we are working hard to make sure her efforts and kindness are continued. Help us collect items for local women shelters and spread this word to all of our community.
· Feminine products
· Shampoo/conditioner
· Soap/body wash
· Razor/shaving cream
· Deodorant
· Toothbrush/toothpaste
