Food Drive - Until Fri Dec 16th

Food banks are in great need this holiday season. Keele St. P.S. will be supporting local food bank, The Stop, by holding a food drive from Monday November 28 to Friday December 16. 

We ask students to bring in food donations that are fresh, wholesome, nutritious, and rich in the kinds of good ingredients you would want in your own home. 

Food donations will be kept in individual classrooms where they will be counted every couple of days. The class that brings in the most items in each division (kindergarten, grades 1-3, grades 4-6, grades 7-8) will win a pizza party for their class on Thursday December 22! 

  • The Stop is requesting: Canned corn, baked  beans, tomato sauce, canned fruit, canned fish (tuna or salmon), canned vegetables, pasta sauce, canned fruit, applesauce, dried fruit, canned chicken or tuna, canned and dried beans, low-sodium broth and bean soups, unsalted nuts, unsweetened peanut butter, canned and dried lentils, brown or wild rice, whole grain pasta, cereals, trans fat-free tortillas, old-fashioned oats or low-sugar oatmeal, whole grain crackers and other snacks, granola bars, gluten-free options, cooking oils, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, chili powders, taco seasonings, cinnamon, baking spices, baby food and formula, diapers (any size, but especially size 2-3), baby wipes, soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss
