Below is a message from our ELA teachers regarding the Food Pantry Drive/Empathy Walk
Dear Families,
As part of our reading and study of Bruiser, students have been thinking and talking about the role of empathy in our lives. In support of this exploration, we are reaching out to the community with a food drive for Parmenter Food Pantry. Each of our ten English classrooms will collect non-perishable food and household items for the next two weeks, until December 10th. We have begun a lively and friendly competition among the classes, with class co-captains encouraging their classmates and organizing the donations.
Below is a list of food and household items Parmenter Food Pantry needs for local families.
Non-perishable food items:
▪ Canned Fruits and Vegetables
▪ Canned Soup
▪ Cereals and Baking Mixes
▪ Ground Coffee and Tea
▪ Pasta and Spaghetti Sauce
▪ Peanut Butter and Jelly
▪ Tuna and other Canned Meats
|
Non-food items:
▪ Dish and Laundry Detergent
▪ Mouthwash
▪ Napkins
▪ Paper Towels
▪ Soap
▪ Toilet Paper
▪ Toothpaste
|
We appreciate any donations you can provide. Thank you for your generosity.
Angie Corbet and Meeghan Peirce
Grade 8 English Teachers
