The PTA holiday food drive is under way and lots of food is coming in!

Here are the details on what we need:

• On next Friday the 16th right after school, we need people to help load the food into our cars and drive it over to Kellogg Middle School. If we work fast, this is done within an hour to 1.5 hrs max. If you have a dolly (sp?) to load boxes, please bring it.

• On Saturday the 17th, we need a group of people to arrive at Kellogg at 9am to help with the big district effort to get the food sorted into boxes. This is a great experience for the whole family and is a very tangible way for our kids to experience service. If you can make it, bring a wagon, wheelbarrow, or some sort of cart so you don’t have to carry all the heavy food around! They ask for a 2 hr commitment, but you can just come and do what you can do. :)
