Keurig-cup Coffee Pod Donations for Staff Lounge | |
|
Coffee for the staff lounge is provided solely out of pocket for the teachers. We did a donation drive back in October and have had a few other donations between now and then (tea, hot chocolate, to go cups, creamers, sugar, etc...even an extra Keurig machine!), and the coffee supply is currently running low.
If you feel so inclined, please signup to donate some Keurig cup coffee pods to help fuel the staff to the end of the school year!
The staff have been incredibly appreciative this year. Costco sized boxes would be appreciated, but any amount would be helpful.
A list of items can be found here. Donations may be dropped off between now through April 7th (before spring break).
