Lowrey School Ramadan Canned Food Drive

Posted on by Dana Hedke-Kronk

Good Morning Families of Lowrey School,

We will begin our annual Ramadan Food Drive on Friday April 26th and will run until Thursday May 2nd. That gives us 5 school days to collect as much nonperishable food items as possible for families in our community who are fasting and having difficulty feeding their families!
Helping those in need and less fortunate is what defines our character here at Lowrey. Please, never forget the power of being a compassionate and caring individual! Our goal is that each student bring in a minimum of 5 food items. For every two more food items brought in, the CLASS will earn DOJO points towards our class incentive and party. Ex: bring in 7 items and earn 2 pts…9 items and earn 3pts…the sky is the limit! There will also be a prize for the TOP donation!
Please do not bring in perishable items or items that are expired. We can not serve these items to our families. I thank you in advance for your generosity and compassionate hearts.
Love,
Mrs. Kronk
