Together, we can make a difference!
October is Bullying Prevention and Awareness Month, and we want to take this opportunity to come together as a school community to promote kindness, respect, inclusion, and a safe environment for all of our students.

D300 FOOD PANTRY UPDATES: What is a "Monthly Challenge Item?" While we are grateful for any/all donations, these are the items you want your school to fill the bin up with during each month! If we receive these items from your school during the month, they count as DOUBLE POINTS for the competition. If a monetary donation is given it is FIVE TIMES the points!! MOST NEEDED ITEMS: Personal Hygiene (shampoo, conditioner, bath soap, toilet paper, deodorant), Canned Fruit, Canned Chicken, Box Pasta, Pancake Mix, Syrup & Coffee. If you have any groups looking to VOLUNTEER, you can go ahead put them directly in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator, Julie Mclaughlin (jmclaughlin@d300foodpantry.org).
