Bring gently used accessories, pajamas, room décor, book bags, and school supplies for school age girls to the donation box at the front office during the drive. Cool Girls is a philanthropy dedicated to the self-empowerment of girls. Their community partners, mentors, and volunteer networks support girls in all aspects of their development - breaking the cycles of poverty, low self-esteem, and teen pregnancy. Their life skills programs develop girls into confident women through education and exposure to a broader world of opportunity. Donation receipts for tax purposes and information on verification to record an hour of volunteer service can be obtained from the PTSA Front Office Volunteer on duty at the time you make your donation.

I hope you all had a wonderful, relaxing break. Cooking Crew has an event coming up this Sunday, January 10th. We

are preparing a lunch to bring to the homeless, so we will begin cooking Sunday morning at 8:30, and be serving around noon. Rides can be provided both ways. Although this would require an early wake-up, your loss of sleep goes directly towards helping those in need! Please send me an email at cjlake98@gmail.com if you are interested.Connor Lake

If you would like to get in on the fun contact Connor Lake at cjlake98@gmail.com for more information.
