Student Council Food Drive
This year, the Student Council will continue the tradition of collecting food and making food baskets for members of our own school community who may need some extra help around the holidays. In addition, this year we will donate the remaining food to the Chicago Greater Food Depository to help community members and families displaced by the natural disasters this year. We are asking each classroom to please donate from the list of items for their classroom. There are also some additional items we will need help with. In order to make sure this collection goes smoothly, any donations will be greatly appreciated. The collection will begin on November 6th and will end on November 15th. You may bring food drive items to report card pick- up. Please make sure all items are store bought, non -perishable and in their original containers. You may bring food drive items to report card pick- up. Please check all expiration dates. Baskets will go out before Thanksgiving break. Anyone interested in making a donation towards the purchase of perishable food items such as turkeys, milk and eggs may send donations to the main office in an envelope marked “LaSalle II Food Drive Donation”
