Socktober and what's next for 5A?

      We are so happy to share with you the overwhelming success we had for Socktober. THANK YOU to each and every family who donated for those less fortunate than ourselves. I wish I could describe how happy and proud the students were when they delivered the socks, gloves, shirts and personal care items to the Mission Shelter.

     The students were feeling so happy and proud to do something so kind for others. They couldn’t be more excited to help our community again. We live in the world's wealthiest nation. Yet 14.5 percent of U.S. households—nearly 49 million Americans, including 15.9 million children—struggle to put food on the table.

     Throughout the month of November we will be doing a food drive to collect non-perishable food items for the hungry in our community. We will be donating these items to the Bristol Salvation Army Food Bank just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday. According to Feeding America, the most needed items are Canned Soup, Peanut Butter, Canned Meats, Cereal, Canned Fruit, Dried Fruit, Macaroni & Cheese, and Canned Vegetables. Many items can be purchased at the Dollar Store for just $1.00!

On Wednesday, November 26^th we will be donating our collection to the Bristol Salvation Army Food Bank on 19 Stearns St.
