Dear Room 6 Parents,
The Battle Against Hunger will have a canned food collection at Haigh in main hallway from Nov. 12th-16th. This school year, all three Dearborn High Schools and our feeders will be raising money for two charities: Amity and Zaaman The goal is to raise $7,600 for Amity (will feed 100 families) and 30,000 cans for Zaaman’s food pantry. There will also be a Turkey Trot on Saturday, November 10th at 9:30 a.m.
For links on both these events please look below:

Our class made a goal of 200 cans to be turned in by November 16th! If each student brings in 9 canned goods (including me), then we will make our goal. The prize for meeting our goal will be a pizza party on November 20th.
