Nov. 10th -14th: Annual Food Drive
National Jr. Honor Society is preparing for our annual food drive, November 10th-14th. This year NJHS  will team with Stuff-A-Truck and our goal will be to surpass the 1,300 items we brought in last year to stuff a semi-truck in preparation for the holiday season. If each student brings in 5 items we'll have over 2,500 items to donate. 

We will accept all items on any day but will theme the days as follows: 
Monday: soups
Tuesday:  canned fruits and vegetables
Wednesday: toiletries 
Thursday:  pasta, sauce and cereal 
Friday:  baby items

Again if we can get each student to bring in one item a day we'll stuff that truck and learn a great deal about our November Core Virtue of GENEROSITY!

Save the Date!! Grandparent's Day at CA is November 25th! More information to come soon...

We are in need of lunch servers on Mondays and Wednesdays .  Please contact jreinitz@cologneacademy.org if you are able to help.
