Grade-level totals will be kept in the cafeteria, and the grade with the highest per/student diaper total will get Whitey’s malt cups at lunches on Friday, February 11th. Students are asked to bring in packages of diapers/baby wipes to a teacher representing his/her grade level. No money will be collected in classrooms. Students are encouraged to “go the extra mile” to physically bring in donated items to support these local organizations and families.
