Our Donation Tabulation Chart is Located in the Hallway Next to our School's Main Entrance

Non-perishable food items:

  • pasta
  • pasta sauce
  • cereal
  • baby food
  • soup
  • pre-made meals
  • gravy
  • baking mixes



CHROME BOOK DAMAGE
The staff in the maker space are noticing that a number of Chromebooks have been damaged recently. In many cases, they could have been carried or placed more carefully, not put on the floor during a work session, and their screens treated as the delicate equipment they are.

This computer screen was on the floor when a chair leg was backed up onto it ruining the screen.





ROCKS ON THE SLEDDING HILL

We will soon be able to use the snow tubes. It will be very helpful if you can pick up any rocks you see on the sledding hill and return them to the pathway edges. These rocks will damage the bottom of our snow tubes if left on the hill. Thank you.
