Week at a Glance November 1

 Note from the Teacher

The fifth grade class will be asking for items to donate to the local Community Soup Kitchen.  This is a wonderful opportunity for our class to reach out and make a difference in our area.  Take out trays, silverware packets, water bottles, and brown paper lunch bags are especially in need this year.  Of course paper plates, napkins, plasticware, cups, tin foil, plastic wrap, baggies, serving gloves. etc. are needed as well.  We will be asking the lower school and early years to help provide products to serve the patrons.  Any donations of items will be accepted any time up until the November 22.
