Salvation Army will be holding its annual Autumn Canned Food Drive from October 30th - November 17th. All unexpired, non-perishable goods will be accepted, and will go to local Howard County families.
First period classes will compete against each other to collect the most non-perishable goods possible. ARL students can leave their donations in the Front Office. We greatly appreciate it if you regularly mention the drive to your students. Healthy competition leads to more donations for us! The two first period classes that collect the greatest number of goods will win a Dunkin' Donuts party.
The club has already started to distribute boxes that store donations to first period classes as of Wednesday, October 18th. Box distribution will again occur on Wednesday, October 25th. If you are not in your classroom next Wednesday afternoon, members will leave your box outside of your door. Please bring the box into your classroom ASAP.
Thank you for your participation!
Thank you Earth Science and Biology GT Teachers. It is clear that you prepared your students fully for the stream field at MPEA. The volunteers were not only impressed by the polite behavior, but also for the eagerness to learn. It was our "treat" to facilitate such an experience today.
As you were leaving, one student mentioned, "This was the best field trip I have ever been on." We love Centennial High!
