Backpack Buddies
As part of our Character Education program, Forest Pines Drive Elementary School will once again be participating in Backpack Buddies, a school community outreach project this year. We are asking that students/families donate food to help us meet the needs of others in our school community. This will be an ongoing program throughout the year, so please feel free to contribute food as you are able. The following is a list of suggested items we are asking for. Please do not send in products with nuts if possible. Please be sure to watch expiration dates. There will be a box near the lobby to collect the donated food items. meats/protein (single serve size-spaghetti, ravioli, tuna fish, canned chicken, beans, etc) snacks (individual servings-raisins, pretzels, chewy granola bars, granola bars, etc.) pasta/noodles (macaroni and cheese, ramen, etc.) juice or shelf stable milk (individual size juice, fruit juice boxes, milk boxes) canned vegetables and canned fruits (pop top or easy open cans preferred) breakfast items (cereal bars, individual size cereal boxes, oatmeal, grits, etc.) Thank you in advance for helping with this project.
