TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY 
to donate to the canned food drive! 

The holidays are quickly approaching and its always easier to go into it with clean cabinets!! Go ahead... clean out those kitchen cabinets and donate to those in our area who may need a helping hand! This year's Canned Food Drive will be benefiting 

Minnie's Food Pantry and the North Texas Food Bank. 

In an attempt to keep it simple for everyone, we have two ways for you to donate your items. You can send your items to school with your kiddo(s) or drop them off at the donation bins located at the front entrance of the school.

As always, your help and generosity are greatly appreciated!

Suggested food items include: peanut butter, canned/pouched meats such as chicken & tuna, snack bars, canned fruits and vegetables, boxed pasta, boxed or bagged rice or beans, etc. 

WRITE A CHECK UPDATE

So far we have raised enough funds to support Red Ribbon Week Assembly and tokens, as well as Teacher Survival Kits and breakfast!

Haun Husky families ROCK!! Thank you for your generosity!

(Remember your donations are 100% tax-deductible!)

We have raised $7,354 so far!
