Feathers for Dollars!

The West Morris Junior Women’s Club is holding their annual Thanksgiving Food Drive, virtually. Once again, they need the help of the fabulous families of Mendham Township Elementary School!
To earn feathers:
Make a donation online. Please specify teacher’s name, so your child’s class receives credit for the donation. Classes will receive one feather for every $10 donated, a bonus feather for donations of $50 or more, & another bonus feather for $100 donations.

The class with the most feathers at 4pm on 11/10 wins the Turkey Cup, and an individual medal for each student in the winning class! Second & third place classes will also win trophies.
