Thanksgiving Food Drive


Update 11/24/19: As we celebrate Thanksgiving this week, we are grateful for the generous spirit of the Greenwood School community. Our Thanksgiving Food Drive for the Wakefield Food Pantry collected 248 items to create holiday meals for those in need. We also contributed 100 paper bags decorated by students, which will be used to distribute the items. Thank you to all who donated, and to the students in the classrooms of Ms. Campbell, Ms. DiVasta, Ms. Frazier, and Ms. Ricupero for their wonderful artwork!

 

This month, we are collecting nonperishable food for the Wakefield Food Pantry to distribute to local residents for Thanksgiving dinner. Each grade is assigned a specific food in greatest need by the organization. Should you wish to participate, please send your item in your child's backpack or drop it off in the entrance hall's collection box.

Kindergarten: Boxed potatoes (mashed, au gratin, scalloped, etc.)

Grade 1: Stuffing

Grade 2: Cranberry sauce; name-brand canned green beans and corn

Grade 3: Quick bread mixes (such as pumpkin, cranberry, etc.)

Thank you for your generosity for our neighbors in need!
