Help the KW Food Bank – Trick or Eat vs WCI

Posted October 23, 2018

SJAM’s annual food drive in support of the KW Food Bank is running from October 22nd to November 1st.  This year, we’re doing something a little different and competing against WCI to see which school can collect the most non-perishable food.

Bring your food items to homeroom each day during the food drive!  We’ll keep score to see which class is collecting the most food!  Scores will be posted on Twitter and the bulletin board in the main foyer!

Get collecting, Highlanders!  Let’s beat the Vikings while supporting families in need in our community!
