Who is ready for a sweet competition that helps a great cause? The SCA is holding our annual school canned good food drive starting on Wednesday November 6th and ending on Thursday November 14th. All food collected will go to the Agape Food Pantry which serves people right here in the Great Bridge community. Last year we collected over 2,000 canned goods! To give a little extra incentive, the team on each grade level that donates the most canned goods, will receive a Krispy Kreme donut party on Friday November 15th. The winning team must donate a minimum of 50 canned goods. Start bringing in your canned goods on Wednesday and dropping them in your team box which will be in the school lobby! Let's make a huge difference in our community!
