The annual battery drive is underway, with the District Office offering a pizza party to the classroom that collects the most individual batteries. Our school's deadline for donations is December 12th to allow time for packing and preparation before collection. The donated batteries will support children in hospitals during the holiday season. Please consider contributing to this meaningful cause that brings both classroom recognition and holiday joy to those who need it most.
