Franklin Sherman Food Bus is BACK - Make a REAL Difference!

Every Friday, leftover food from Franklin Sherman is gathered and taken across the street to the food pantry at SHARE. This weekly effort is an important source of food for local families who depend on SHARE, and one of their only sources of donated dairy products.

We are incredibly fortunate to have this opportunity to help our neighbors while teaching our children about generosity, community service, and reducing food waste.

Would your family like to be part of it? Join us for a Food Bus training session THIS FRIDAY at dismissal (4:05 pm). Kids are encouraged to participate, making this a wonderful and very tangible way for them to see how a small amount of time can make a meaningful difference for another family.

Please sign up here if you plan to attend Friday’s training. Can’t make the training but still want to help? Reach out to Lisa at lisagrochford@gmail.com Already know how to do the Food Bus? We need families throughout the school year! You can sign up for a Friday here or choose several dates. The Food Bus runs every Friday that school is in session.

COAT DRIVE: LAST WEEK TO DONATE

SHARE of McLean is collecting new and gently used coats to distribute to our neighbors in need before the winter. Now is a great time to look through your closet and see if you have any coats to donate! All sizes – kids and adults – are needed! There will be a bin in the front lobby for coats to be dropped off any time. The deadline to drop off coats is Friday, October 2.

Counselor Wish List!

Ms Crummett, our new school counselor, has created a wish list for new recess and safety patrol equipment. Please consider purchasing something from the wish list for students to use every day!
