DrumBeat: Drummond LSC and PTO News & Views

I am unable to upload the Drummond Dollars form to the site — but it did go home in backpacks last week — or if you would like me to email you a pdf directly, just email me at

thanks!

Hi all,

We are collecting donations in cash or grocery gift cards to help Drummond families in need. A donation in any amount would help to put a hearty meal or 2 on the table for a Drummond family. Please give what you can— a little or a lot, it all counts!
THIS WEEK ONLY, your money can go even further because you can order grocery gift cards through the Drummond Dollars program, with each purchase benefiting Drummond.  Attached you will find the form to order a grocery gift card to donate to our food drive, give to a friend or family member, or just to purchase for your self. Each card purchase benefits Drummond.

Cards may be ordered through NOV. 13TH for delivery to you November 19th & 20th. So please fill out the attached form and return it THIS WEEK.  Any cards that are donated will go to Drummond families in time for Thanksgiving. Cash donations or grocery cards purchased elsewhere will be collected until Monday, November 23rd.

Please hand your donations to Mary Zerkel, Lisa Wright or Cindy Nicita, (look for us as pick-up/drop off or kiss n go)
OR drop them off in the school office.
If you have questions email Mary at

thanks for your generosity!
