Our school is in desperate need of supplies! Although many donations came in at the beginning of the year, you would be amazed by how quickly we go through them. (We use the disinfecting wipes to clean door knobs and light switches to minimize illness.)  Please drop items off at the front desk.
 
The following items are very much appreciated:
Kleenex
Disinfecting wipes
Rolls of paper towels
Hand sanitizer
Plastic forks and spoons
