We are asking that families donate a pie that will be distributed to our teachers and staff the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Pies can be homemade or purchased from a bakery (i.e. Pie Gourmet) or grocery store (i.e. Wegmans, Giant, Harris Teeter, etc). Please see the signup for more details.

The PTA is collecting diapers (size 3, 4, and 5) and new and gently used child and adult sized winter coats for members of our community.
