Food Pantry Collection

Dear Families,
As we approach this busy time of year, it is important to remind ourselves of all that we have to be thankful for. That being said, it is also very important to remind ourselves that there are people that are not as fortunate as we are. We have been in contact with the Reading Food Pantry and have decided to run a school wide food drive. I am attaching the list of items that are needed and not needed at this time. Please, if you are able to do so, send in some of the items on the list, place them in the designated container in your child’s classroom and we will forward them to the Reading Food Pantry. Your thoughtfulness, kindness and generosity is greatly appreciated!
Fondly,
The Kindergarten and Third Grade Team
