THANK YOU!! Thanksgiving Food Drive at Fern Ave P.S.

UPDATE: Together, the school collected over 21 boxes with a wide variety of items, many of which met the food bank’s immediate need. 

Very eager helpers from Madame Roch’s class helped to sort the items, which the food bank volunteers really appreciated!
