It’s hard to believe, but holiday break is just around the cor-
ner. In the spirit of the season, all three of our schools have
done an amazing job holding donation drives to benefit those in
our local community who can use some extra help this holiday
season. Our Christmas for Kayden Toy Drive continues next
week, and if you would like to participate, please bring in un-
wrapped new toys to any one of our schools’ offices by Friday,
December 14. I would also like to thank all who participated in
the collection of canned goods and non-perishable food items
at the Elementary and Middle Schools.
