Time is running out . . .
There's not much time left, and we're
still behind Grapevine in the total
number of cereal boxes collected for the
annual BATTLE OF THE BOXES!!
Large drop-off containers are located in
the front lobbies of CSHS and CHS just
waiting to be filled so send/bring
in the cereal anytime between now and
end of school on Thursday, Dec
13th. It's best to send in
recognizable cereals that kids like,
even if not the most nutritious choice.
All cereal donated will be included in
'Christmas is for Children' family food
baskets so that children have something
they enjoy, since cereal is often too
expensive for families to purchase
regularly. Donations will be counted
each week to see who is winning the
competition between Carroll and
Grapevine - your donations will be
greatly appreciated by many!
