2020 Food Drive
ADL will be holding our annual food drive this week 11/16/20 - 11/20/20. However, it will look a little different. As you are dropping off your students and or your students are arriving, they can give their items to an ADL employee outside. A bin will be set up near the median where student drop off occurs. Your donations will go to our ADL families and local community members.
Please make sure any donated items are sealed, packaged and have a proper expiration date.
We will accept any item you are willing to donate. Below is a list of suggested items…
Canned goods (vegetables, fruit, meats)
Baking supplies (flour, sugar, etc)
Boxed Dry Goods (pastas, dinner meals, mac and cheese, stuffing, etc)
Soaps (Handsoap, body wash, shampoos)
Physical Education Department
With winter here and the snow on the way our Physical Education department is looking to bring back cross country skiing as a unit for our students. To do this we need equipment. If you have any cross country ski equipment that you are no longer using, please consider donating it to ADL. To do this please contact Kevin Barber, kbarber@ewsd.org. Thanks in advance for helping our students stay active.
