The Brackett Spring Food Drive has begun — the drive will run Tuesday, April 28 – Tuesday, May 5.
The Brackett PTO and the Fifth Grade are partnering with Arlington EATS and the APS Family Resource Center – Spy Ponder Threads to help support the community with much-needed food and toiletries.
Arlington EATS works to engage the community in eliminating food insecurity and hunger in Arlington.
Spy Ponder Threads is a space in the APS Welcome & Resource Center where APS families, students, and staff can access essential items they need to thrive.
If you are in a position to do so, please consider donating items to this year’s drive. Donations are collected in front of the school each morning at drop-off.
Each grade has been assigned items to contribute specific items that are currently needed by these organizations:
Grade Specific Items:
- Kindergarten: Cumin Powder, Chili Powder, and Hair Brushes
- 1st Grade: Garlic Powder, Dried Oregano, Shampoo, and Conditioner
- 2nd Grade: Cinnamon Powder, Soap, and Body Wash
