🌟Fair Plain Middle School Food Drive: November 3rd–17th! 🌟
Hello Families,
We’re excited to kick off our Food Drive in this upcoming season of giving! Starting November 3rd- November 17th, our school community will be collecting canned goods and non-perishable food items to help support local families in need this holiday season.
We invite all students and parents to join in the spirit of giving by donating what you can — & to add some fun, we're making it a competition! That's right, the grade who contributes the MOST items, will receive a SURPRISE reward! 🎉
Also, be sure to mark your calendars for our Food Box Giveaway on Wednesday, November 20th, from 2:00–4:00 PM. This special event is open to our school families and community members who could use a little extra support this season.
Let’s come together to spread kindness, share joy, and show what it means to be a caring community. ❤️
The Lions Club will be visiting all Benton Harbor Area Schools on October 23 & 24 to provide vision screenings for students. 👓
If you have questions or would like to opt your child out, please contact your child’s school office.
