HRE Gives Back
We are excited to be having a Food Drive again this year. Our goal is to give our students and families another opportunity to experience the joy of giving. It may come as a surprise that there are many families in the Hamilton County area as well as families here at HRE who are struggling to put food on the table. Winter break is an especially hard time when children are not in school where they are assured of having one meal each day. We would like to ease that stress by providing boxes with two weeks’ worth of easy meals and snacks for those families that could use a little extra help this winter. Each class has been assigned items needed to assemble a box for a family in need. We are inviting each HRE family to donate the items listed below. We have an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children; both those who give and those who will receive. We hope this will give you an opportunity to talk with your children about gratitude and the joy of giving to those in need. Donations will be accepted starting on Monday, December 2nd through Wednesday, December 11th.
Please see the following list of classes/items:
Daniel, Davis, Gue, Parrish, Szabo, Wellington,
Bare, Edwards, Loftus, Nulph, Palfi, & McMahan

- Every artist needs to sign their work! Be sure to have your child write their name on the line in the bottom right hand corner.
- School name and year are already included on the template and not needed. Any additional wording must be legible. Please have your child take their time and do their best work when they write.
