🎉 Annual District Canned Food Drive – November 11–21! 🥫

It’s that special time of year when our school community comes together to make a difference! From November 11 through November 21, we’re hosting our Annual Canned Food Drive, with a district-wide goal of collecting 25,000 cans to help local families in need. 💙

✅ How to Help:
Bring non-perishable canned goods to your school during the drive dates. Every can counts toward our goal!

Let’s show the power of kindness, teamwork, and community spirit. Together, we can fill pantry shelves and hearts this holiday season. 💪❤️
