Troop Box Donations
Each year McCormick Elementary School students and families have
contributed items to be placed into small troop boxes. These boxes are then
provided to the local Yellow Ribbon military support group to be sent to
deployed military personnel around the world. To date, McCormick has
provided more than 400 boxes for our men and women. We would like to invite
our families to once again donate items from the list provided. Your donations
will be divided among boxes and a letter from McCormick will be included.

McCormick will be accepting donations from October 17-21. Please select

been moved to Saturday, March 11th.
Auditions will be held on Wednesday,

lookout for a talent show planning
meeting in early January. Contact Ann
Grady at [email protected] if
you would like to help with this exciting
program.
