Dear Thompson Families,
You are invited to participate in the Arlington EATS fall food drive! Now that school has begun Arlington EATS is focused on ensuring all Thompson kids have enough healthy food during the school day and over the weekend.
From September 29 through October 10, Arlington EATS will be collecting the following food items:
Kindergarten - oatmeal and/or boxed cereal
1st grade - rice and/or beans
2nd grade - ultra-pasteurized (shelf-stable) milk and/or granola bars
3rd grade - canned fruit and/or vegetables
4th grade - mac & cheese and/or canned pasta
5th grade - peanut butter/sunbutter and/or jelly
We always need healthy and easy-to-eat snacks (eg: bananas, clementines, cheese-sticks, Gogurts, baby carrots) to distribute for snacks, so these items are welcome as well.
Your child should bring the items to his/her classroom and place them in the Arlington EATS box. Each day we will tally the number of items contributed per classroom.
The class with the highest participation will receive extra recess during the week of October 14!!

REMINDER: If you believe your child could benefit from the free weekend food program but you have not turned in the consent form, please contact Vicki Rose (main office) or Nicole Melnik (Room 108) at Thompson.
