Principal’s Message:
Langley Meadows Community School extends generosity and care to families at Christmas. This year, one integral part is a school wide food drive. Donations get used for our Christmas hampers and to support the Langley Food Bank. This year, the Food Drive will begin on Wednesday, December 4. The last day to give is Friday, December 13. Students can bring the items to their classrooms.
We like to ensure that we do not have an abundance of one item and lack in other areas so that the hampers we create are as helpful as possible. Below is the list below of food to send to school.
Students in Kindergarten and grade one bring BREAKFAST items. For example:
-cereal
-pancake mix
-syrup
-breakfast bars
-coffee
-hot chocolate
-oatmeal
-granola
Students in grades two and three are asked to bring LUNCH items. For example:
-canned or dry soup
-macaroni and cheese
-jam
-crackers
-canned fruit
-tuna
-juice boxes
Students in grades four and five are asked to bring in DINNER items. For example:
-canned vegetables and fruit
-canned fish
– stew
– pasta
-rice or side dishes
– pasta sauce
-potatoes
-cranberry sauce
-stuffing
-dessert items
Other items that are always welcome regardless of grade include:
- Foil Roasting Pans
- Paper napkins
- Paper towels
- Dish soap
- Toilet paper
- Tissues
- Chocolates
- Candles
- Cookies
- Christmas Candy
Thank you for your support who would benefit from our generosity. We can make this holiday season special for others while modeling to our own students and children what it means to be a caring community!
