Chili Drive to Support Rotary
The Rotary Club of Yelm needs our help. The club provides a weekly bag of food to students who might otherwise go hungry during the summer. It is a great resource for our families when school is out.
To help the Rotary, Prairie will be holding a canned chili drive to help offset the rising food costs as chili is the most expensive item. This is NOT a general canned food drive but a chili drive.
Prairie will kick off our chili drive on May 1, and continue until May 31.
Clothing Needed In Our Healthroom
SPRING CLEANING!!! If you are rummaging through your kids' old clothes to make room for their summer clothes and upcoming new school year wardrobes, PLEASE DONATE ALL sizes to our health room for students who may need a change of clothes or shoes throughout the school year! We appreciate all donations of any kind.
Thank you,
Hope C. Madick LPN
