Attention GCMS Elementary School Students, Families and Friends,
We have been asked to participate in a canned food (nonperishable food) drive to help local families in need. The Elementary School partners with the ICSB GCMS school bus drivers in this effort.
We will have a competition between grade levels to see who can bring in the most items. It will be a great exercise in community service for our students AND it will be great fun!
The winning classroom will get to ride in the Gibson City Lighted Holiday Parade on a decorated/lighted school bus, and the winning grade level will enjoy a pizza party hosted by the bus drivers.
If you are interested in participating please send canned and/or nonperishable food items to school between Monday November 7, 2016 and Wednesday November 16, 2016. The final count of donated items will be after a morning collection on Wednesday November 16th. The winners will be announced Wednesday November 16th.
NOTE: Our local community food pantry (Gibson Area Food Pantry at Gibson Area Hospital) is in need of peanut butter. If you are able and interested in making that one of your donated items it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
**Gibson City Lighted Holiday Parade is scheduled for Saturday November 19, 2016.
