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.
