A message from Ms. Corbet and the English Dept.

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 week, until November 8^th.  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.
