Annual Common Pantry Food Drive
As a way to instill the spirit of giving thanks throughout the halls and classrooms of Coonley, we are partnering with the Common Pantry (http://commonpantry.org/) for a fall food drive.

Each classroom will be collecting unopened, non-perishable items such as…
  • Canned goods (soups, fruit, beans, etc)
  • Grains (cereal, oatmeal, pasta, dry beans, etc)
  • Toiletries (shampoo, soaps, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc)
Collections will begin on Monday, November 9th and will conclude on Thursday, November 19th. Students can bring items to their classrooms and the upper grade students will come by weekly to collect items brought it.
