Family Engagement

Save the Date for 1st Grade Family Engagement

On Sunday, December 15,  1st Graders will continue their learning project on Feeding our Needy Neighbors (FANN). We invite all Parents and/or Grandparents of 1st graders to ride the bus to Winn Dixie in Lakewood to shop for groceries to donate the JFCS Winn Dixie Food Pantry and learn  how Winn Dixie helps to feed the hungry in our community.
