Delaney School Blog: May 31, 2013

Greetings Delaney Families,

Where did May go? It seems impossible that there are only 13 1/2 school days left in the year!

This week was filled with activities from the Advanced Band Concert, to VIP Museums, to the Principals' Coffee...and the last few weeks are going to be just as busy! I'm including some dates for you to add to your calendars as well as some fun pictures of this week's happenings. Enjoy!

Thank you to Stop & Shop's A+ program and to everyone who purchased groceries and linked their accounts to the Delaney School. On Friday, we received a check for $2081.48!

Spirit Day!

Our final Spirit Day of the school year will culminate on June 7th. The PTO will be holding a Red Bag collection to generate canned and dry good donations for the Wrentham Food Pantry. Red collection bags will be sent home on Tuesday, June 4^th. Donations will be collected each morning in the classrooms starting on Wednesday, June 5th and ending on Friday, June 7th (Field Day).

Did you know that almost 6 million households visit food pantries each year? Community food drives like ours help make sure those children and their families can get emergency food assistance when they need it. This time of year is when many pantries are running low on the food brought in over the holidays so our aim is to fill up the empty shelves before summer. One grocery bag of food can provide as many as 11 meals. Every single donation helps, and together we hope our combined donations will make a real difference for those in need. The food pantry is asking for nutritious canned and dry goods. Here are some suggestions:

Most Needed Items in Wrentham

Peanut Butter & Jelly

Canned Soups and Stews

Cereals

Canned Pasta

Jarred Spaghetti Sauce

Pasta

Mac N Cheese

Tuna

Canned Fruit

Mayonnaise

Ketchup

Juice/Juice Boxes

Kleenex

Diapers/wipes

Jello/Pudding

Last year your donations kept the shelves stocked for nearly two months!

Participation in Spirit Day is completely voluntary. We thank you in advance for any donation you may make.

Principals' Coffee
