Thanksgiving Food Drive
The West Morris Juniors' Thanksgiving Food Drive is roaring ahead like a turkey on roller skates! We're so grateful for your generous donations.
Feather your cap with these two ways to earn those coveted turkey feathers for your child’s class:
1. Visit http://www.wmjwc.org/food-drive and show some love. Be sure to specify your teacher's name, so your little one's class can gloat with pride. Classes earn one feather for every $10 you chip in, a bonus feather if you go all-in with $50, and an extra bonus feather for those high rollers at the $100 table.
2. Raid your pantry and send your child to school with the food items assigned to their class.
When: Donations accepted from Wednesday, October 25th – Wednesday, November 15th at 4pm sharp.
Friendly Competition: It's feathers to the max! The class with the most plumage at 4 pm on 11/15 walks away with the prestigious Turkey Cup. Each student in the winning class will get a shiny medal. Second and third-place classes won't go empty-handed either – they'll grab some dazzling trophies.
Got Questions or Just Want to Gobble? Email our expert turkey wrangler, Nadja Springer, at nadja.s.springer@gmail.com. Thanks for joining the fun, and may the feathers be ever in your favor!
And now, for the thrilling moment you've all been waiting for, here's the current leaderboard:
