GIVING TREES
Our Giving Trees are located at the main staircase and in the office. Children
may bring in gently used or new hats, gloves, mittens and scarves. The items will
be placed on the trees and then given to families in need.
We will be collecting until Friday, December 15th.
Grace and George McCoy, pictured below, were
caught spreading warmth through the holiday season by

WE NEED CARDBOARD BOXES
MEDIA CENTER - We are collecting clean, cardboard
boxes during the month of December and January for
a special "makerspace" project. Let us take those
amazon shipping boxes off your hands. The bigger the better! Just send boxes to school, intact or broken down, attention Mrs. Messer. The kids will do the rest.
Please don't send large boxes with your student on
the bus. Our buses are not equipped to transport students and large boxes. CARDBOARD - the perfect material for creative construction!
(No gift boxes please.)
MR. MAXWELL - is also in need of cardboard for
our next Aviation Station project.
