The start to our annual, school-wide service learning project, Kids 4 Kids, begins Monday, October 17 with the food drive. Food donations can be dropped off by students in the boxes located in each classroom/advisory. On Monday, October 31 there will be carts at each carpool drop-off for all the clothing drive donations. FYI, you may donate more than just clothes, so please check out the link below. For example, You CAN donate gently-used fall/winter clothing, toys, books, and bedding.
The Kids 4 Kids page on the PACA website (under Programs) provides all the details you need to know. You will find all the information on what you can donate to both the food drive and the clothing drive, how to “Fill-A-Wish”for the members of our sponsored families, and how our volunteers make this drive a success.
**The 6th and 7th Grades also need a little help with the food drive, and this year we would love to have a few parents help us guide the kids. Please click on this SignUp Genius link to volunteer, or contact us for more information.
Thank you for your help. We can’t do this without you! If you have any questions, please contact Kimberly Allison at kimberlyga or Ria Forchione at riaforchione.
