STUDENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Friday - November 14, 2025
Character Ed Theme – Citizenship

First priority is collecting donations to give gifts to kids in need throughout the world who would otherwise have no gifts on Christmas. 3rd and 4th graders' homerooms are collecting school supplies. 5th and 6th graders are collecting personal care items. 7th and 8th graders are collecting toys/games and fun items.  Please no liquids/aerosol cans. The class that brings the most items will win a donut party!  Click Here to view the spreadsheet they created to help with what items should or should not be donated.  Collections will take place November 12th-14th. I will add a reminder to our morning announcements the week before collections begin.  Thank you!
