FOOD PACKING EVENT

Food Packing Event & Fundraiser

Food Packing Event: April 30

Meals will benefit the SK Youth Service Center

Donations Accepted through April 17

FBLA has begun fundraising for a Food Packing Event to be held @ SK. 

You may remember the food packing event last spring hosted in part by the Northern KY Hunger Relief. Last year we were able to pack 25,000 macaroni and cheese meals for our Youth Service Center and other local food pantries!

  • The cost is just 25¢ per meal and if every student donates a quarter in each class we will reach our fundraising goal! 
  • Donations may be given to Ms. Burns in Room 288 during 1st - 3rd periods or to Ms. Bauer in room 291 (during any class period). 
  • Volunteer sign-ups will be available as the event gets closer. The amount of money we raise will determine the number of volunteers needed.   
From the Counseling Office . . . 
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES  Piner Elementary School is requesting students to participate in creating a garden. Students are needed on the following dates:  4/21, 4/28, 5/5, 5/12, and 5/26 from 3:45 to 4:45. If you are interested in participating, stop by the guidance office to sign up.
