SMS Yearbook Food Drive - LAST DAY TOMORROW
Shumate Middle School Yearbook staff is hosting a food drive. Yearbook staff, in conjunction with Student Council, is collecting non-perishable food to benefit the Gibraltar Food Pantry. Students will bring donations to their advisory. The advisory with the most donations will win a pizza party! The student that donates the highest number of items will receive a free yearbook. The food drive begins February 28th, 2023 and concludes March 14th 2023.
The Gibraltar Food Pantry has listed the following items in high need:canned tuna, canned chicken, hearty/chunky soups, canned stew, chili corned beef hash, coffee and cereal.
Thank you for your help,
