Melbourne High School is ready to start our backpack program again! But to do that, we need everybody’s help. What club/group/class can gather the most items?
We need everything!
personal care items (shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, feminine products, Q-tips, razors, shaving cream, etc.)
Canned or jarred foods
All other foods
Any school supplies, especially 1” binders, packs of pencils, and new or gently used backpacks.
Trial/sample size items (but to be fair for the competition, let’s say 3 trial size = 1 item)
NO Expired foods, please!
Mr. Massey will have a party for the group who gathers the most items.
If you know students who would benefit from the backpack program, in a couple of weeks (after we have our donations) see Mrs. Yancey. Deadline Wednesday, Sept. 28
