Drive Thru Food Pantry

Teaching children to immerse themselves in a good book is one of the most valuable things you can do as a parent. A childhood love of reading sets the stage for success as an adult. A child who loves reading will have an inquiring mind, a vivid imagination, and great problem-solving skills. Set some time aside to do some reading with your kids this week and inspire a lifelong love of the written word.

Today, let's celebrate what brings us together and stand against bullying. Unity Day is all about showing that we are stronger, kinder, and more vibrant when we include everyone.

Bullying thrives in silence. Let's make noise by wearing and sharing orange to show our commitment to a world where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.

Day 2 of School Bus Safety Week focuses on Safe Stops and the Danger Zone 🛑🚌.

The most critical time for students is when they are getting on or off the bus. This area around the bus is known as the Danger Zone because the bus driver may not be able to see children there.
