Food Drive for the Elementary Backpack Program
With the holiday season approaching, the needs of the Adrian R-III Backpack Program are on the rise. The Backpack Program provides nonperishable food items for elementary students. As of right now there are 25 students in the Backpack Program.
In continuance of the Kindness Campaign, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Brewster’s Seventh Grade Classes have decided to hold a food drive. This food drive is a great way to give back to our own community and teach our students the importance of giving back. The drive will run from Monday, December 4th- Friday, December 15th. To make things fun we have decided to have themed days! You do not have to follow the themed days, we are just trying to make sure that a variety of items are donated.
