As the Christmas season approaches, Harkins Elementary will again be holding a food drive in support of the local Food Banks.  In addition to helping support the Food Banks, each food item donated validates a ballot for a chance to win prizes provided by District 16 for our school - the more donations,m the more chances to win!  There will be THREE draws for an Ipad II for the student's classroom. In order to encourage our students to participate, we will be holding different activities on the last school day of the week until Christmas.  Cost to participate in each event is one item for the food band or one loonie.  Although there are suggestions for each week, any food item is welcome. Thursday, November 3rd - Crazy Hat Day - Suggested items are Kraft Dinner or a loonie. Thursday, November 10th - Pajama Day - Suggested items are cheese whiz, jam or can of soup.
