- You are invited to decorate your car to celebrate if you are interested in doing so. This is
not mandatory.

Hi, I'm Allie P. For my fourth grade Passion Project, I am doing a Snack Drive for Essential Workers. I am collecting snack bars, water bottles, small chip packages, and other pre-packaged snacks to donate. You can also donate a gift card to Amazon or Giant. Please consider donating by dropping off snacks at the gym doors at school between June 9th -11th (during the parent pick up). If you have questions please email ajhammyeats@gmail.com
