Food Drive This Week

In this season of giving, the St. Michael's all-school canned food drive will take place from Monday, November 11 - Chapel on Wednesday, November 20, to benefit the St. Michael's Church food pantry.
The St. Michael’s Church Food Pantry distributes over 1,000 meals each month to those in need through programs like Friends of the Homeless, Monarch Woods, and the Gathering Place.
Most needed items: canned vegetables (any beans, corn, green peas), canned fruit, canned soup, old-fashioned quick cook oatmeal (not instant packs), mac & cheese, pasta/noodles. 
K-5th grade will collect donations in their homerooms and 6th-8th grade will collect them in the library. 

Send In Your Box Tops!

Each box top will raise 10 cents for our school. The program begins November 1 and runs through December 17.  The winning grade will be able to celebrate with both a dress down day and ice cream party before the holiday break.
