projectU is sponsoring a Holiday Food Drive to donate food baskets to students
in need within our school, students in the KCS community & other organizations! Our
goal is to put together at least 10 food baskets or more. Donation containers
are in the Commons area & contributions of $1.00 each will help to purchase
a ham or turkey for each basket. Your Club or Organization can also donate an
entire basket or two! A $50 donation will purchase all food items including the
turkey or ham for each basket. Look for Club/Organization donation
information in the Commons drop-off area and make your contribution donation
before December 18th!

Special thanks to our cleaning crew
from SGA and volunteers who stayed after school Monday to get ready for our
Showcase! The campus looks great!!
Let’s all help keep it looking that way – when you leave an area, look
around and check that you did not drop or spill anything. A little effort by everyone will get a lot of
work done in keeping our campus looking its best! #GryphonPride

· Our Key
Club is participating in two projects and needs YOUR help collecting
items!
1)
Toiletries Drive for Beaumont
Magnet Academy's local community--We've learned that many public
assistance programs don't cover hygiene products for those in need. We're
working with Beaumont Magnet Academy to collect all hygiene products
but especially shampoo, soap, hand or body lotion, antiperspirant/deodorant,
and feminine products. Any sizes and quantities are welcome (including
travel size)! Please drop them off in the collection bin in the Bookstore
Hallway.
2)
Plastic Grocery Bags Collection:
We'll be collecting disposable shopping bags all year to create
lightweight sleeping mats to distribute to our homeless community. (Here's a video if you're
interested.) Each mat requires about 700 disposable shopping bags (what you'd
get from Wal-Mart or a grocery store). Please drop off your extra bags in
the collection bin in the Bookstore Hallway.
· New activity to
be offered during Early Release hour on Mondays – come learn how to play the
card game Bridge! There will be an informational
meeting on Monday, Dec 4 at 3:30 in room 214.
More information is below.
