Thanksgiving
Hot Lunch this week!
PTF is providing a free hot lunch to the students and
teachers this week. On the menu is ham, corn, rolls, milk and dessert.
The
hot lunch is free, but we are asking students to bring a donation of a food
item or items which we will collect to assist a family in need in our Hispanic
congregation. We encourage you to consider taking this opportunity for your
family to share their blessings with those in need.
In
order to vary what we collect, we are asking that each classroom focus on a
different type of staple. These donations can be brought to school on Hot Lunch
Day, Thursday, November 20th.
Suggested donations:
Pre-school and
Kindergarten: flour, corn meal, corn flour, sugar, dry noodles, rice
Grades 1-2: Canned
vegetables (corn, green beans, hominy, tomatoes, etc.)
Grades 3-5: Canned
fruit, fruit juice, apples, oranges
Grades 6-8: Potatoes,
Sweet potatoes, carrots, dry beans, cheese, butter
For
those who like to plan ahead, we will also be collecting a food offering at our
November 26th Thanksgiving chapel service. The chapel collection
will be given to local charities for distribution, depending on what we collect
(Anchorage and Wasilla Food Banks, Bean’s Café, etc.). We ask that items for
the chapel collection be non-perishable dry or canned goods. These items can be
brought for chapel on Wednesday, November 26th.
Give Thanks!
