In recent months, it has been brought to our attention the rising number of families that have financial and food needs during this time. Food donations are down at this time, and the need has increased significantly. To answer the question of how significantly: one year ago the food pantry provided assistance for twenty people each month; the need now has increased to two-hundred and twenty-five people each month. If you are in a financial situation that allows you to help, we would like for you to consider sending non-perishable food items to school to be donated to the local food bank. These items can be left with the classroom teachers in the morning and will be collected and delivered to help supply the Meade Food Bank. Needed Items: toilet paper, paper towels, canned fruits and vegetables, canned meat such as chicken and tuna, peanut butter, pasta, pasta sauce, soups, cereal, cake mixes, etc. Further guidance is to purchase more of the items you purchase for your family and donate these extras to families needing assistance here in Meade County. Thank you for your generosity.

Fentanyl: You can't feel it, see it, smell it, or taste it. According to the DEA it only takes 2 milligrams of Fentanyl to be lethal (https://www.dea.gov/onepill). It is important that as educators, parents, family members, and friends, we are aware of the dangers of the drug, how it can be accessed, and how to recognize mental and physical effects of Fentanyl. Attached is a video for parents and families that is meant to share the dangers of Fentanyl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEQHOQdrQJc
