Thanksgiving Food Drive

The Kings Road School Student Council will be leading its first initiative this year, a Thanksgiving food drive to benefit the patients of the Overlook Medical Center Health Start Clinic. We are fortunate that one of our second grade parents, Erin Donadio, is a volunteer at this clinic and will be helping facilitate this food drive. If you would like more information on the project, feel free to email her directly: Erin.Donadio@gmail.com

In order to streamline the collection we are asking each grade to donate a specific item.

• Kindergarten: Box(es) of Mac and Cheese
• 1st Grade: Boxes of Stuffing
• 2nd Grade: Packets (envelopes) of gravy mix. 
• 3rd Grade: Packets (envelopes) of instant oatmeal.
• 4th Grade: Boxes of instant mashed potatoes.
• 5th Grade: Canned Vegetables

Items can be brought to your child’s homeroom teacher. Please deliver all items no later than Monday, November 14th. The grade that collects the highest number of items will receive a special prize!
