Our Annex students have been busy working on Science About Me Posters. We included genetic facts about our bodies and our favorite ways to use electricity and food to make energy for our bodies.
We’re excited to kick off our Annual Food Drive, Monday, October 28th through Friday, November 15th! This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to show support for our community, especially those in need.
Here’s how it works: students can bring canned goods to their first-period teacher. Each grade level will have one winning class—the class that collects the most canned goods will win a special treat as a thank-you for their amazing generosity!
Please encourage your students to bring in any canned goods they can spare. Every single donation makes a difference and helps provide for families and individuals experiencing homelessness in our area.
Together, we can make a huge impact.
Thank you so much for your support.
