Anything Extra in your Pantry?
Our "Be The Change" club at the junior high recently met and decided to start a Backpack Program to help feed some of our students in need. We have many students in our district that are in need of resources with food being one. The "Backpack Program" simply means placing donated food products in a backpack that will be taken home by a student. They will return the backpack and the process will continue on to another student.

You could be a good example to our students by donating something from your cupboard. It will certainly be appreciated! If you have questions or ideas on this program, we will be available at the school for you. Please call - 666-5254. Thank you!
