Student Council News

The MSS Student Council has decided to try to “Fill the Bus” with donations this year.  We will have a bus outlined in tape in our hallway. Each time we fill a box of donations, we will mark off the area inside our “bus”.

Our first venture is to have each class fill a “Thanksgiving Dinner” box for ten needy families in our town.  The Student Council voted to donate the ten turkeys for each box.  The rest of the donations will come from each classroom. Boxes will be delivered to the Hopkinton Food Pantry on Tuesday, November 22nd.  Please check with your child to see if he/she has volunteered to contribute an item for their class box.

We recently had a guest speaker at our Student Council meeting.  Mrs. Tewksbury came in to share with the council what the Friends Program does.  We found out that the Friends Program helps needy families by providing them with a place to stay in addition to every day necessities.  In the month of December we will be collecting donations for the Friends Program as well as the McKenna House.

Items that the Friends Program need are: diapers (all sizes), new socks (adult & children) winter boots (can be gently used), arts & crafts supplies, children’s clothing (all sizes, can be gently used), canned goods and cereal.

Items that the McKenna House need are:  new socks, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shaving cream, razors, deodorant.

Thank you for your support in helping our kids help others in need.
