This year’s food drive benefits Hastings Family Service. Merchants and area schools will collect monetary donations and non-perishable food items.

Through December 10th, students may fill a plastic or paper bag with items and drop them off in the green bins at school! A bin will be located near the bus doors and main doors.

Most Needed Items:

• Monetary donations. Hastings Family Service can turn a $10 donation into 70 pounds of food. If each student at McAuliffe brought in $1 we could provide 3,500 pounds of food to families in need!
• Side dishes (rice, pasta, potato and stuffing)
• 100% fruit juices
• Jelly or jam
• Pancake mix
• Canned fruit
• Soup, stew, chili and chow mein

We learn more about COVID-19 every day, and as more information becomes available, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) will continue to update and share information with us. As our knowledge and understanding of COVID-19 evolves, this guidance may change.

During the school day if your child develops illness symptoms we, the school, will notify you and help you and your family take needed actions. Students who develop illness symptoms during the school day will be sent home.
