Help Us Support Alive Ministries
School Wide Service Project
100 Days of School Campaign
Deadline:  Jan. 25th
  
100 days
This year Nickajack Elementary School will be partnering with Alive Ministries, Inc. in the 100 Days of School Campaign to help meet the needs of students & their families right here in Cobb County.

Alive Ministries, Inc. establishes food pantries within local schools to address the need of hunger amongst children living in poverty. We hope that you will join us as we challenge each homeroom to collect 100 cans or boxes of food by the 100th day of school.
All of the food collected will be donated to the Save It Forward Food Pantries in Cobb County.

This campaign will teach students the importance of helping others and the value of working together. Students will learn that no matter how large or small their contribution is to the campaign, when we work together and each does his/her part, we can make a BIG difference. We want each student to walk away from the campaign feeling like they have made a difference in the life of another child.

We are asking each student to assist his/her homeroom in collecting 100 cans or boxes of food by bringing in non perishable foods or toiletries from now until the 100th day of school, January 25th. No expired items please. On behalf of the teachers and administrators at Nickajack Elementary School, thank you for your support!
