Meal Kit Drives:  Wow! We are so excited about the response to our first meal drive! Our community really pulled together and we are able to distribute TONS dinners to students and their families! Thank you so very much. This coming week, November 3-7, the McCornack Busy Bees PTO will be holding a Pancake Breakfast Drive! We will be gathering donations of boxes of pancake mix, bottles of syrup, canned fruit, and shelf-stable // boxed milk before and after school at both the front office door and the front playground. We could always use extra eyes on the donation stations, so if you’re dropping off or picking up a child and can help supervise one of those areas for a few minutes, we’d hugely appreciate it! Check out the flyer to see all the info in one place as well as basic guidelines (unexpired and unopened food items only, please). Please help us make this a success and build up our wonderful learning community!
