Homework Homework

Last updated Wednesday, 11/18/09.

November Service Project is to bring in canned goods. In order to earn 5 points in religion for this service project you must bring in at least 10 cans.  

Supplies needed: Almost all students need new dry erase markers! Many are dry.

We could use more wipes to use on our hands. (We have enough of the kind for the hard surfaces.) We can always use dry erase markers and small wrapped candy for prizes.
