Thanksgiving Baskets

Thanks for the tremendous response to the Thanksgiving basket food drive! Together we collected over 1,000 food items – enough for Alicia’s House, plus the Trinity blessings box, and the Crete Food Pantry. That far exceeded our goal and earned each student an ice cream treat today. The 4th grade class gathered the most and won an extra prize for their class!

Total: 1035

Victory for 4th Grade!
