Today marks the beginning of the National Honor Society book drive! We are collecting new or gently used books for children ages 3 to 5, to benefit the Head Start Program. A big yellow collection box is located in the hallway next to the Language Arts office, so help us get that box filled! The drive only runs throughout this week, so please go home tonight and see if you can find any of old pre-school books of yours or your siblings, and then bring your books back in soon!
