Please send in nonperishable food items for our food drive. Not only will you be helping people in our community, but you will also help your child's advisory win a PIZZA PARTY! The last day to send in items in Monday, December 4. Thank you!
The return from Thanksgiving has also brought a rise in illness and COVID infections in our community and schools. Knoxville Schools currently have a surplus of COVID tests we are happy to share with the community. If your student/family is having symptoms of COVID (headache, sore throat, body aches, exhaustion) and would like a test, you can pick one up at any of the schools, or we are happy to send some home with your student(s). Contact Jessica Lenz for more information.
It's giving Tuesday! Please consider donating to our Blessings in a Backpack program. We would love to continue to feed families in need on the weekend.
