URGENT: CAMPO FINALS FUEL We have less than two weeks to go and are still 2500 snacks ($970) away from our goal! We are 100% parent supported, so please sign up to donate snacks by ordering directly from the online registry or by donating money through Venmo (@Randi-Kofman) or PayPal (@RandiKofman).

There are bins located in E9, you can write a check directly to the Contra Costa Food Bank and send it with your child, or you can donate here virtually. Each 5th period class competes for prizes, so be sure to ask your student if they would like you to put their 5th period teacher in the comments section. The Food Bank let us know that they are seeing 80,000 more people use their services and inflation has really impacted people's ability to make sure their families can eat enough this holiday season.
