Middle School Holiday Food Drive 
It is that time of year again!
Please join the West Plains Middle School in celebrating the city of West Plains and all that they have done for do for our school and the community by donating canned food items to be distributed to local charities and food pantries in the area. It does not matter the amount that you give but rather that you give!
Each grade level will be collecting canned food items that will be placed under a tree in the front lobby. Students will be able to drop off food in the large boxes that have their grade level posted on it. Parents and the community are encouraged to help the middle students with this project.
Remember that this is the season for giving and make someone's day brighter.
Thank you in advance for all of your help and willingness to reach out to the community that we call home, The Middle School Electives Team. |
