Message from Parent Teacher Fellowship

With Valentine’s Day coming up in the next week, the Parent Teacher Fellowship would like to show some love and appreciation to our Middle School Teachers.  We would like to replenish their coffee and snack pantry with K-cup coffee and tea boxes as well as packaged snacks.  We had great success last year asking for donations from our parents and would like to do it again this year.  The teachers really appreciate this small blessing that we can give back to them.  In the next 2 weeks, we are asking if each student would please bring in one box of K-cups (coffee or tea) and/or one box of snacks (granola bars, 100 calorie prepackaged snacks, individual trail mix packages, crackers, etc.) so we can make their pantry overflow.  Your student can bring in the items over the next 2 weeks and give to their first period teacher.  

Thank you so much for your participation.  It is a great blessing to our teachers!!  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, jajenningsnc@icloud.com.
