ADDITIONAL ITEM:
Each year, the MLK school staff create Thanksgiving baskets to donate to MLK Elementary families in need. All kids are asked to bring in delicious nonperishable items to add to the donations. The classroom with the largest collective donation wins a pizza party! Please send your kids in with cans and boxes of great food--one a day or a whole bag--and help families in need in our school community.
