Snack Donations
Our student snack cabinet is beginning to run low. We would appreciate snack donations (packaged pretzels, crackers, bars, etc.) to keep our cabinet full for students in need. Please reach out to Mrs. Chapman, school counselor, (schapman@wcpss.net) if you have questions.
Thank you for your support!
