School Council is collecting non-perishable food items to support the Edmonton Food Bank this December! To raise as much as we can, we are offering students the chance to win a popcorn party for their class!! 🍿

Students will receive a ticket for each non-perishable food item that they bring in. At the end of the drive, one lucky student from each division will have their name drawn to win a popcorn party for their class!! 🍿

Let’s fill those bins, Huskies!!

Not sure what to bring? Here's a list of the most commonly needed items:  Most Commonly Needed Items
