Food Drive
The JCHS CREED Committee is excited to announce a food drive for the holidays through North Fulton Charities. To support our community, the committee is asking JCHS families to donate items that will be sent to help stock North Fulton Charities Food Pantry, which supplies dried goods and toiletries to families in need. The Flex class that donates the most food will win a Chick-fil-A tray of chicken minis. The teacher will also win a prize too!
When: Monday, November 27 - Tuesday, December 12
Where: Students will drop their items in crates in their Flex Class.
