Just a reminder that Thursday, April 17, is our next Fill the Pantry Jeans Day to help replenish our lunch pantry for less fortunate students (and those who occasionally forget their lunch at home). Students and staff may wear school-appropriate jeans (no holes, rips or legging-style) with a uniform top OR a spirit wear shirt, in exchange for a $2 per person donation. We thank you for your participation, which is always voluntary.
