Our Family Resource Center helps so many families and students within our community. They have a problem and need your help! Their shelves are almost totally empty. If their shelves are bare, they cannot help those in need. Please consider providing any amount of non-perishable food items to the FRC. While you are out this weekend, pick up a couple extra cans or boxes of those staples or even laundry detergent. You may drop them off at the FRC or contact April Couch at ext. 2056 or email April.couch@hck12.net for more information.
