Canned Food Drive: Last year, our students brought in 2,136 cans, and this year we want to surpass that total! Each can contributes points to our team’s overall score, and all items will be donated to the Bread of Life to help stock the food pantry for the Thanksgiving season. Accepted items include canned soups, fruits, and vegetables. Canned food items can be dropped off at the church beginning on Sunday, November 2nd. Come ready to help our team win while also serving our community!

Flag Football: All students in 6th to 12th grade will have the chance to compete in flag football this year. We will have separate middle school and high school games as part of the competition. Parents and families are encouraged and invited to attend the games on Sunday evening. The cost of admission is a canned food item! Exact game times will be shared closer to the event.
