Holiday Food Drive

December 9, 2024 by

We are thrilled to announce that our school will be hosting a food drive from December 9th through December 13th to support the Bayview Community Center. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to help those in need during the holiday season.  Students can put donations in boxes placed outside their classroom.

Each day, we will focus on collecting specific items:

  • Monday, December 9th: Jam/Jelly and Peanut Butter
  • Tuesday, December 10th: Cereal
  • Wednesday, December 11th: Pasta, Pasta Sauce, or Mac and Cheese
  • Thursday, December 12th: Individually wrapped, single-serving snacks (granola bars, applesauce cups, fruit snacks, crackers, etc.)
  • Friday, December 13th: Any Canned Item

All donations will be delivered to the Bayview Community Center just in time to support families over the holidays.

To make it even more exciting, the class that collects the most items will receive a special reward!

We encourage every family to contribute as they can. Your generosity will help make a difference for those in need, and it will help our students learn about the importance of community service.

Thank you for your kindness and support in making this food drive a success!
