Decision Day will be held on April 26th this year and we are working hard to get some fun donations for our seniors! If anyone has it in their heart to donate for Decision Day – we would LOVE it! Some ideas might be college dorm items, gift cards, coffee maker, food gift cards, gas gift cards, or laundry items (they may not realize they want this yet) lol
ANY donations are welcome and much appreciated!
PLUS – JEANS FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH for anyone who donates!
Bring donations to Mrs. Martinez in E138!
