Desert Mountain School is teaming up with Foothills Food Bank to help local families in need this holiday season!

⏰ When:

Our food drive kicks off at Boo Bash on October 23 and continues through Turkey Trot on November 14.

🎯 Our Goal:

Collect 1,200 nonperishable food items! That's just 3 items per student!

🏆 Grade Level Challenge:

The grade level that collects the most food items will win a PTO-sponsored Pizza Party! We'll announce our top two grade levels each Friday to keep the competition exciting!

🥫 Where to Donate:

Students and families can drop off donations in their classrooms or at the school office.

Most Needed Items:

Stuffing, boxed potatoes, canned vegetables, soup, peanut butter, pasta, rice, canned fruit, and other nonperishable foods.

Please, no glass containers.

Every donation makes a difference! Let's come together, Blackhawks, and reach the top of our Food Mountain! 💙
