Dinner-In-A-Bag: Thank You, Families! Thank you to all of our families for participating in our Dinner-In-A-Bag initiative hosted by Clipperville! Our students loved putting these meals together as a meaningful way to give back to our community. Some families received porch deliveries today, and for those who chose backpack delivery, get ready… your child’s bag might be a little heavier tomorrow… heavy with joy and goodness 💛 We’ve included easy to follow meal cards to make dinner simple and fun. If you make a meal together, we would love to see it. Feel free to share a picture below! A special thank you to our partners, the Herma Simmons Home & School Association (HSA) and the Clayton Early Childhood Center, along with our amazing secretaries for printing all of our menu cards. This is what it looks like when we show up for one another 💙
