Now here’s a special announcement:Hi, we are a group of students, Edom Bedane, Oleg Kaitov, and Yeabsira Bekele. For our community project, we are talking about homelessness in Arlington, and we wanted to donate to PathForward, formerly A-SPAN, which is a shelter for homeless people, to help the homeless people.  In order to do that, we need your help. On Monday, you will notice boxes around the school labeled “Donate here to PathForward” either with a label “Books” or “Clothes”.  Could you please donate any books to the boxes labeled “Books”. This will then be given to PathForward for their library.  Could you please donate formal or casual adult clothes to the boxes labeled “Clothes”, preferably formal clothes. Also, if you can, please donate white socks. And please, do not donate underwear or bras. These will then be given to PathForward’s clothing storage.  The boxes will be there for one week from May 1st – May 5th.  Please bring to the school what you can to donate.  There will also be posters around the school.  Thank you very much!

From Preontee Barua:Please donate to the boxes around the school with canned food and cereal, make sure they are not expired or opened. The food raised in this food drive is going straight to AFAC to help those in need of food.  Thank you!

From Ms. Wall and Ms. Z:Students—if you remembered your overdue library books today, please come return them to the Library after announcements!
