🎄 HOLIDAY COIN DRIVE 💰
Gather your loose change, our Holiday Coin Drive begins tomorrow!
This year, instead of doing a traditional classroom gift exchange, we are excited to spread kindness in a meaningful way to support our local food pantry! Each day this week, students will be given a fun question of the day and they will vote for their answer by placing their coins in the matching container. Send a few coins with your student every day this week for them to cast their vote each day! All money collected will be donated directly to our Walnut Food Pantry.
Thank you for helping us make a positive impact this holiday season! 💚
