ONE CAMPUS GROCERY: “The last One Campus Grocery Food Drive of the year has started! You can bring in your donations any time (room 21), but the drive will wrap up right before Spring Break (March 26). As always, this is a Pond class competition, and the class that brings in the largest amount of food donations will earn an ice cream party when we return from Spring Break. Having said that, even if you don't have a Pond class, we will gladly accept any and all food donations (shout out to the paras who have always been VERY supportive during these drives).
For most of this school year, we have been able to feed 2-3 families of four for a week, every week, as a result of your generosity! So thanks in advance for your continued support of the One Campus Grocery Food Pantry!”
Questions, stop by RM 21/22.
