Giving Back to Our Community This Holiday Season
Giving Back to Our Community This Holiday Season
It's the start of the season of giving, and the Gaskill PTO is organizing a number of initiatives this November & December, aiming to support and give back to both our internal school family as well as the larger surrounding community.
Some details are still being finalized, so be sure to check back!
The Arrow of Light Den for Pack 456 is sponsoring a food drive for Nourish Meals on Wheels.
Join us in supporting Backpack Society by donating new boxes of cereal during our school wide Cereal Drive from November 10-21.
Collection bins will be in each grade's basecamp. Please have your students drop off there.
The grade who brings in the most donations will win a special prize of a donut treat day!
The Backpack Society is a 100% community supported nonprofit benefitting school aged children in local school districts (including LPS!).
Your generosity will help restock their essential cereal supply for kids.
