JMS Attitude of Gratitude Challenge — We have an opportunity to express our gratitude by giving back to others, and your participation in the Food Drive will bless children in Johnston who do not have enough food to eat.

Here’s how it works:  Each day bring the item of the day to your PRIDE classroom and place in the designated box.  On Thanksgiving Eve all boxes will be delivered to the local Food Bank to bless those in need!  Please see the attachment for the full schedule of daily giving.
