Snack Donations

Posted on by

We are looking for donations of snacks for our counseling office. These snacks are often given to students who are hungry during the school day and may not have the ability to bring snacks from home. If you are interested in helping, we are accepting snack drop offs or you can order from our Amazon Wish List and have snacks sent directly to the school. Thank you!
