Our January Ditty Bag Drive was a huge success!!
Our Jaguars collected TWENTY boxes full of toiletries...
3, 990 items!! They beat their goal of 3,000, and they are so happy about it. You may not know that this drive was the launch of a collaboration between all three QA elementary schools to help the Queen Anne Food Bank. Coe and QAE will be doing their collection drives in Spring.
A HUGE thank you to our fabulous Student Council for coordinating this effort! And to our John Hay community for helping people in need at the Queen Anne Food Bank. For more information about this organization, please visit: https://www.qafb.org/
