Dear 5th-Grade Community,
The National Honor Society invites our entire school community to come together in support of our annual Holiday Basket Drive.
This initiative aims to prepare thoughtful appreciation baskets for our Maintenance Staff and Afterschool Athletics Department—two teams who work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our school running smoothly. Support us by donating the items on this list and bringing them to your Community Teacher no later than December 8th, and help us make their holidays truly special. Thank you for joining us in spreading kindness and gratitude this season.
