Support our students and The Community Food Bank of New Jersey during our second annual Willow Winter Dash (rescheduled from before Winter Break)! All students and staff are encouraged to participate! PreK-Grade 3 students will run laps around the Turf Field. Grades 4-8 will run around the Ring Road. To participate, students must bring in two nonperishable food items to be donated. For a list of items the food bank needs, click here.
Please also consider making a pledge to sponsor students’ runs! Last year, we raised over $9,000 for the food bank, the most funds raised and meals donated in our Students Change Hunger division! This year, our fundraising goal is $7,500, which would fund over 22,000 meals for our neighbors in need. Check your email for details about sponsoring laps, or click here to make a direct donation.
