December 7, 2017 To the Parents/Guardians of Miller School Students: 1. Project 351 Food Drive Update! This week we have been collecting food for the Holliston Food Pantry/Project 351 Food Drive. As of today, we have collected 1,519.9 pounds of food. Our goal is 2700 pounds, because Mr. Keim -- a huge Steelers fan -- will wear Patriots gear for a day if we reach 2700 pounds (and that much food really helps out the Food Pantry!). Tomorrow is our last chance to meet that goal. We need to collect 1,180.10 pounds tomorrow! We are calling it “Free For All Friday” - anything and everything you can donate - the heavier the better! We are suggesting bottles of juice, jars of peanut butter & jelly, and canned items, We appreciate any and all donations! Thank you, The Fifth Grade Leadership Team 2.
