Last year, our school community collected over 5,000 pounds of food, wow! Please join us by donating funds and non-perishable food items. *A prize will be awarded to the class (one per grade) that collects the most food.

To donate funds, go to: www.aacps.org/harvest To donate food, send non-perishable food items to school with your student(s) throughout the month of October. 100% of the proceeds from this fund and food drive benefit the Anne Arundel County Food Bank.
