= = Can Food Drive Information for 8th Grade Math Teachers


 * __GOAL__**: For our 8th grade students to participate in a Can Food Drive to benefit Manna on Main Street, Lansdale, Pa.

Below are the details each teacher needs to know about the upcoming Can Food Drive:

**PLEASE ONLY USE OVERHEAD MARKERS ON THE CHART!! (so it can be washed off and used again)**


 * I will be dropping off your supplies for the can food drive. (chart, overhead markers, period cans, coupons) (I have asked Chris H. to start collecting boxes to put the cans in. If you have any boxes at home or can bring them in, that would be great too.)


 * On Friday, February 19th, we will announce to our students that we will be doing a can food drive.


 * On Monday, February 22nd, the students will start bringing in can food.


 * On Friday, March 5th, we will collect the last of the can food. During 6th period, Sara’s classes will load up the can food into my car (from all of our classes). (If anyone can offer cars or vans, that would be great too.)
 * During 7th period, we will take the cans over to Manna on Main Street. I am requesting coverage for myself and one other person for E3 in case we are not back in time from Manna. Who would like to go to Manna with me?


 * On Monday, March 6th, please send me a list of how many total cans each class period brought in and I will write an announcement for the morning announcements and the daily bulletin and for the Inside Information.


 * Also, on Monday, March 6th, please return all can food drive supplies to me (chart, period cans, extra coupons, etc) so they can be used again next year. If you stapled the things to a bulletin board, please remove them carefully so they can be used again. __You do not need to clean off your chart; I will do that for you.__

Some things you might want to mention to your students…


 * They can bring in can food from Tuesday, February 22nd to Friday, March 5th (not during E3 on the last day, since we will be gone by then)
 * All food will be going to Manna on Main Street in Lansdale
 * Make sure they ask their parents if they can bring in the food before they just take it
 * It must be __can__ food, (not soda cans or boxes, or pet food)
 * Please bring in food they would want to eat, not some weird food that they are buying just because it is cheap.
 * Only if you want: The class that brings in the most can food will win a prize…movie day, food day, etc… (if you want to encourage them)
 * All four 8th grade math teachers’ classes are participating in the food drive.
