FOOD DRIVE EFFORTS...

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do." ~Edward Everett Hale

You did it!! You did not let anything "interfere with what you could do" and you all brought in...

4, 361

That makes us GOAL BUSTERS, since we asked for 3,000 cans!! (Pictures of our 4th graders loading up the bus are below)

Thank you everyone,
I so appreciate your contribution to our food drive. You truly did a wonderful thing. Your generosity will directly benefit the New Heights Community Center and those families in need. The canned goods we collected this week will allow New Heights to feed over 100 families! It has been such a blessing to watch children give and see them getting so excited about giving! Parents, you were a tremendous driving force in this effort, and you encouraged your children to give generously. Your example is a valuable lesson and a blessing in itself! Once again, thank you all for participating and supporting our can food drive this year!
