COUNTRYSIDE DAY OF SERVICE

We are very excited to bring back Countryside Day of Service this year!  This service-learning project will culminate on Wednesday, February 14th with our Countryside students, families, and community members packing food for people who are experiencing hunger in our local community.  This year, Countryside is partnering with Harvest Pack, a local, non-profit organization, to make this service event happen.

YOU CAN HELP!

Countryside students raised an overwhelming amount of money during the October Wacky-Tacky-Walk-a-Thon!  $15,000 will be used to fund the meals we pack on February 14th.  At 30 cents per meal this will enable us to pack 50,000 meals as a school community!  

We need adults to help the food packing run smoothly on February 14.  Please consider volunteering for this FUN job (hairnet included)!  More info to come on volunteers needed for the day...
