Hello, Munger families!
K Kids is participating in the 35th Annual "Souper Bowl of Caring". For the next few weeks we will be collecting cans of soup to donate to our local food pantry. Notices are coming home to families as well and collection tables are set up in the lobby for donations.
There is a table for the Upper Wing donations and Lower Wing donations to see which wing donates the most soup! We will also be putting a collection box outside the school for community members to donate.
Thank you in advance for your donations and your generosity.
