Thanksgiving Food Basket Drive
THIS WEEK! We are asking Liberty students and staff to collect food donations which will be used to fill Thanksgiving food baskets for 30 Liberty families in need. Each classroom is requested to donate specific food items (see attached flier). We also welcome any extra donations! Please see PTA FB page for updates on the greatest needs.
We have boxes set up for each item, located in the primary hallway, outside the Library.
In addition to making food donations, teachers and staff can also participate by donating $10 (or more!) in exchange for a week’s worth of dress down passes. These donations help the PTA pay for the $20 turkey gift cards that are included in each basket. Please see the attached form for more details. Forms & donations (checks to Liberty Elementary PTA) are due by Wednesday, November 20th (in the drawer in the workroom). Dress down passes can be used the week of December 2nd-6th.
