LOOKING AHEAD
Nov. 27-Dec. 8 Holiday Basket Food Drive – The food drive starts the day we get back from Thanksgiving break. So, bring as much non-expired non-glass packaged food as you can to support Shoreline families through this holiday season. Meridian Park has been challenged to 500 cans of canned vegetables but I think our community can do much more. The winning classrooms get a hot chocolate party.
