LET’S ROLL TOILET PAPER DRIVE! 🧻

It’s never too early to help our community! Cardinal Families, let’s join in on the Metrocrest Let’s Roll Toilet Paper Challenge! 😃

Metrocrest Services wants to collect 75,000 rolls of toilet paper. Your support/donations will help ensure that no one in our community has to choose between purchasing essentials such as toilet paper or food.

Donations of toilet paper must be packaged. For each package donated, your child will receive a Cardinal Buck! For our new Cardinal Families, a Cardinal Buck is school money for your child. They will be able to use it at our School Store! Stop by the office during office hours to drop off your donations. We will collect donations until August 5th. You may also drop off your donations during our Orientation/Back 2 School Bash!

Office Hours:

2024-2025 Uniform Information

Life School is a school of choice that requires students to wear uniforms, as authorized by state law and the Life School charter.
