| 'Tis the season for giving and sharing, and there are many opportunities to help those less fortunate than we are. You may drop off a coat in the elementary school lobby to help keep our homeless neighbors warm during the cold winter months. There are also barrels to contribute cans to our school food drives. Below are some other ways to help out and keep in the spirit of the holidays! |
