Help Us Make Birthdays Brighter!
Our FCCLA members are collecting donations to create Birthday Boxes. Our goal is to donate 30 boxes to our local food bank.
Each box will include everything needed to celebrate a special day:
🧁 Cake Mix
🥤 Sprite (replaces the need for eggs and oil)
🍰 Disposable Cake Pans
🎂 Icing
✨ Sprinkles
🕯️ Candles
🎈 Party Favors
Want to help? We have options.
1. Shop locally and bring your donations to Ms. Sawyers in the FCS room.
2. Shop our Amazon Wishlist; the link is on the flier. Items will ship to WMS.
Your donation will help FCCLA members put together complete Birthday Boxes and spread a little joy to families in our community.

Phones may be confiscated (and returned at the end of the day) for the first offense and a day of in-school suspension for the second offense. Additional violations may result in further consequences.

Back to school means supplies. Label supplies to stay organized. Also label clothing items/backpacks/lunch boxes/water bottles so that lost and found items can be returned to the correct student. Many misplaced items end up in Lost and Found and remain unclaimed. School Supply list linked below. Please note that zippered binders are not permitted.
