THE FOOD DRIVE HAS BEEN EXTENDED! The food drive benefiting the Northern Stokes Food Pantry has been extended to Friday, February 21. The food collected will go right back to folks who live in our community through the Food Pantry. Collection boxes are set up in the foyer in front of the cafeteria. Remember: The grade level with the most cans earns an ice cream party courtesy of the Francisco Ruritans Club. Third grade is currently in the lead! And, Mrs. Kelly has graciously agreed to having a pie to the face for every box that is filled to the top! What a great sport she is! Wouldn't it be great to fill all 6 boxes? Just think of all of the people who would benefit from your generosity! And, Mrs. Kelly would have plenty of pie, so much that she may share with someone else!
