We are in need of donations to help make Staff Appreciation week (May 2-6) successful. If you would like to donate, please sign up for something on this list. We have a snack cart for staff that needs refilling but we also need some breakfast items to accompany the hot food being served on Friday, May 6. Last year, the snack cart was a huge hit so we would really appreciate Costco/Sam sized packages if possible.

Contactless drop off for snack cart items: Please have all snack items dropped off at the front door of: 260 N. Lee Street or 1762 E. Carib Lane no later than May 2.

For breakfast items: Please bring to the school by 7:30 am on Friday, 5/6. Either drop it off in the office or if no one is there please text/call (847) 894-0955.

THANK YOU!!
