Can Food Drive

The Gombert Student Council is sponsoring a canned food drive for Green Harvest, a local food pantry.  Students are encouraged to bring in can goods starting Monday, January 30th through Friday, February 10th.  The "theme" of this food drive is 100 can goods for the 100th day of school!

Every grade level that collects 100 can goods wins a pajama party!  The grade that collects the most can bring stuffed animals too!
