People & Pets Food Drive

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we are collecting food donations for people and pets. With the help of our Alumni, we will be preparing 100 Thanksgiving baskets on November 19 to donate to those in need, both in our school and our local community.

All items donated should be nonperishable, either canned or boxed, and can be dropped off starting Monday, November 3, through Tuesday, November 18. Donations can be dropped off at the Primary and Middle School or High School Offices.

We have provided a list of recommended items by grade level that will be collected. No donation is too small, and we will accept any items, even if you choose to donate outside of your grade level.

Let's give thanks for our many blessings and give back to our other local families this holiday season.
