On Friday, April 24, we will host our annual Toy Drive. Students and faculty may dress down in their favorite pajamas if they bring a new unwrapped toy.

							&lt;p&gt;Mrs. Durbin’s Social T class is extending the “Champions Closet” donation drive through April 13–17, and your help can make a real difference. We’re collecting gently used youth sports equipment like helmets, sticks, balls, bats, and more. Your donation can give a child the chance to play, grow, and be part of a team. All items will be donated to the Children&#039;s Community School and shared with kids at PAL and other local programs. Even one piece of equipment can help change a kid’s experience, please consider donating!&lt;/p&gt;
