Cold and Flu Season
Many staff and students have been experiencing seasonal colds. Thank you for keeping your children home if they are ill and for encouraging healthy hand washing habits.
Gloucester Food Bank - Food Drive November 20th-28th
We are excited to announce that we will be starting a fundraiser to support the Gloucester Food Bank. This is a great opportunity for our community to come together and help those in need during this time. Our drive will begin Wednesday, November 20th and run for a week ending Thursday, November 28th.
While we welcome donations of non-perishable items and toiletries, cash donations are preferred as the food bank can purchase much more with your cash donation. Monetary donations can be made easily through our school cash online and your generous contributions will go directly toward supporting families in our area.
Thank you for your kindness and support!
Sincerely,
Terry Fox Staff
