Help Make a Difference This Thanksgiving
Our annual Thanksgiving Drive began Monday, November 9, and runs through Wednesday, November 18. This has always been one of our most successful School-wide drives, and the Morristown community relies on our food donations to help those in need.
Each Advisory is asked to collect the following items for one basket:
- 1 box or bag of stuffing mix
- 1 box or bag of instant potatoes
- 2 cans of cranberry sauce
- 3 cans of vegetables (corn, green beans, etc.)
- 2 cans of mixed fruit
- 1 can of apple pie filling
- 1 can of pumpkin pie filling
- 2 boxes of instant pudding
- 2 premade pie crusts
- 4 cans of gravy
- 1 box or bag of biscuit mix
- 1 basket or container to hold all the goods. Be creative!
- $2 donation per individual to help cover the cost of purchasing turkeys
In addition to the Advisory baskets, each grade and faculty/staff are asked to contribute the following:
- Seniors: Pasta and pasta sauce (canned, no glass containers)
- Juniors: Flour and sugar
- Sophomores: Baking mixes
- Freshmen: Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate
- Middle School: Cereal and pancake mix
- Faculty/Staff: Dry goods (rice and beans)
Food donations and completed baskets should be dropped off in the Middle School Commons by 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 18.
