Welcome to 2nd Quarter. We hope that everyone had a great long weekend and that all upper schoolers enjoyed Homecoming. Below are some upcoming US events:
Kids 4 Kids Service Learning Project: Food Drive (Oct. 25 – Nov. 4), Clothing Drive (Nov. 1 – Nov. 8)
The start to our annual, school-wide service learning project, Kids 4 Kids, begins this week with the food drive. Food donations can be dropped off by the students in the boxes located in each classroom. On the following Monday, November 1 there will be carts at each carpool drop-off for all the clothing drive donations.
Please check out the Kids 4 Kids page on the PACA website (under Programs) for details on how to donate and/or volunteer! You will find 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.
