Turkey Trot Update
It was a hugely successful year! We raised $3,250.00 thanks to the generosity of our CV community and the PTSG that helped round out our total. With this money, we were able to purchase Shop-N-Save gift cards for 65 families from the community.
T-Shirt Drive for National Junior Honor Society, Nov. 15- Dec. 22
The National Junior Honor Society is hosting a T-Shirt drive to benefit ZipWithUs, a charity that makes and donates custom port-access ZipShirts to pediatric hospitals & cancer patients nationwide. A Zip With Us shirt enables a child to keep his/her clothing on during the painful process of port device accessing during chemo, infusions and blood draws. This simple design maintains dignity, provides a sense of security and makes hospitals less scary.
We are collecting brand new T-shirts: sizes 2T-Adult XL that can be dropped off in the middle school office. Themes of dinosaurs, Disney characters, video games, princesses, trucks/cars, animals and super heroes are some of the most loved.
We have partnered with the Old Navy in Robinson Township & they will be collecting shirts for our drive. If you're shopping there, you can purchase a shirt and drop it directly in the box. In addition, if you would like to shop online, you can order via the "In-Store Pickup" at the Robinson location. Designate "ZipWithUs" as your name and the store will drop your donation into the box.
Peer Helper Food Drive
The 8th Grade Peer Helpers are holding the 1st Annual ThanksforGiving Food Drive for a local Meals on Wheels in our community. Tomorrow is the final day to drop off your donation! Let’s see which grade and homeroom can bring in the most items! Please only donate non-perishable items. Canned goods, cereals, cake/pancake mixes, cereal bars, coffee, tea, juice boxes, instant potatoes, boxed stuffing and rice are all perfect options.
Have a Thanksgiving holiday!
