CIVICS PROJECT - COLLECTING USED/UNNEEDED SCHOOL SUPPLIES
As part of a Civics project, NAHS is collecting used/unneeded school supplies. " Do you have school supplies that you don't want or need after this school year ends? Drop them off in front of Mr. Anderson's room, room 2062, so these supplies can go to a better use! Choose to reuse to benefit both kids in need AND the environment!" Thank you!
