Gift Cards for AHS Families in Need
Suggestions: Target, Walmart, Fry's or Safeway Grocery

With your assistance we have been able to provide much needed gift card donations for several of our Arcadia students, this provides relief to so many. We are currently looking for gift card donations, no donation is too small or unappreciated! 
All donations can be brought to our Arcadia front office. In past years this has been very successful due to the generosity of our parents, students, and community members. Thank you for any consideration given to this request.

Goodwill Donation Drive Helps AHS Families
4,120 pounds collected! Thank you!
Thank you to all of the families and neighbors that dropped off Goodwill donations this past Saturday. We collected 4,120 pounds of donations, resulting in $412!  THANK YOU for your help!  The donations collected helped to fund grocery gift cards for our AHS families in need this holiday season.

Thank you to all the over 200 families that donated to help make our teachers and staff members holidays a little richer.
Everyone is wondering how much was raised, but we don't want to spoil the surprise for the AHS staff, who will receive their gift at the Chili Luncheon later today.
Look for an email later this week with an update on how generous our parents were!
