Eagles in Action
3rd Grade Eagles in Action 2020
3rd Grade is Sent to Serve (Matthew 20:28) the LaGrange Area Food Pantry through chapel offerings we collect this month. During this school year, 3rd grade will purchase items each month that Snap or Link cards don’t cover like toothpaste, shampoo, soap, deodorant, or toilet paper, to name a few. We will also be collecting food items like cereal, pasta, and canned goods that can be dropped off during Meals to Go on Sunday, September 20th. We will keep you posted on the items we purchase each month in the WINGS. Thank you for helping us serve in our community with your offerings!
