Greetings 1^st & 4^th Grade Families!

 

This is your weekend backpack food collection committee here to let you know that your child’s class will be collecting food for the weekend backpack program serving children in our community who are in need of extra food over the weekends. The donation period will run from Monday, October 28^th -Tuesday, November 5^th. All of the food collected from classrooms throughout the school year will need to be in individual serving sized packages just as years past. Food collection bins will be located outside or right inside of your child’s classroom.

 

Class	Item	Amount
Azer	Individual Oatmeal Packets	85
Doran	Individual peanut butter “to Go” cups	80
Adsit	Individual Raisin/Craisin boxes	170
	Individual Raisin/Craisin boxes
Platter	Individual applesauce cups or pouches	85
Reding	Individual applesauce cups or pouches	85
Koch	Individual cracker packages	84
O’Rourke	Individual Oatmeal Packets	85

 

If you would like to also help assemble the food packs, we do this once a month and produce enough food packs to distribute across a 3-5 week period. The next packing day will be afterschool Wednesday, November 6th. It rarely takes more than 15 minutes and we appreciate all the kids and adults that arrive to assist. We just ask that a supervising adult accompanies any child willing to help.

 

Families in the past have always been so very supportive of this program and there are so many families and children that really appreciate your generosity. Thanks again for your kind food donation and attention to our Otter Pack program at View Ridge.

 

Best Regards,

 

View Ridge PTA Otter Pack Committee
