PANTRY PACKS FOOD DRIVE- December 3rd to 14th
Pantry Packs provides food to families in need.
This year we will be collecting:
-Macaroni and Cheese
-Protein Bars (KIND, Quest, etc.)
-Fruit Snacks (Fruit leather, Tree Top, Annie’s etc.)
We are excited to see the numbers grow each day knowing that these items are providing students and families in our school district support. 
We will need one volunteer at each lunch to assist in the lunch room, helping kids finding the correct bin for their item, tallying and sorting donations. There will be 3 shifts for each day:
-11:45-12:10 (K-1)
-12:15-12:40 (Gr 2-3)
-12:45-1:10 (Gr 4-5)
This is a great opportunity to connect with your child and their friends during lunch time!

MONTHLY STAFF APPRECIATION BREAKFAST - December 14th
What better way to show your love and appreciation for our amazing Ella Baker staff than by hosting a monthly Staff Appreciation Breakfast?! The PTSA would love your help in making this happen!  Each month, we will be asking a grade/den to host a monthly Staff Appreciation Breakfast by signing up to bring food/drinks etc and/or volunteer for set up or clean up. 

For the month of December we are asking help from 4th/5th grade parents. Please sign up if you can bring something or volunteer to help set up/clean up.
