Halloween was a hoot, you have piles of candy...now what should you do?

You can't eat them all because that would be bad. 

You can't stash them all because mom will be mad.

What does one do with a problem like this one?

We have an idea that is generous and fun.

Donate your candy and new toothbrushes to the US military, 

so that everybody can have a Halloween that is happy and merry.

Bring your candy and new toothbrushes to Mr. Doyle or Ms. Thebaut by November 7

so this Halloween everyone can have a bit of candy heaven.

 

Students, at this time all cell phones and electronics need to be turned off and in your backpack.
