LEGO Donations
The Middle School LEGO Club Needs Your Help: We’ve all had LEGOS as children – we’ve collected them, built them, and even broken them down. And now they are probably sitting in your room in a box not being used and collecting dust. If this is the case, the LEGO Club is asking you to donate them. The LEGO Club needs any and all old, used, forgotten-about LEGOS. The LEGO club isn't a club without LEGOS. So LE–GO and bring in your old LEGOS! Donations can be delivered to Mr. Berger's office in the Upper School.
