Holiday season is approaching! This is often a fun & exciting time where families and communities are brought closer together. In contrast, this is also the season of winter, where the days get colder and the nights get longer. Write a piece:

Exploring this contrast between the holidays and the winter season
Where a new tradition is created OR destroyed
About a character who really, really loves the holidays OR really, really hates them

Due to the government shutdown, many households who rely on WIC and SNAP benefits are facing heartbreaking uncertainty about their next meal. Lake Country Rural Health Initiative is hosting a Food/Formula Drive to support local families affected by this crisis. If you all want to help out during the holiday season, you can donate canned foods, baby formula, baby bottles, and/or baby food. I can come by anytime from November 1-December 31 to pick up any donations y’all may have and bring them to the clinic. Thanks!!

Girls Who Code and Young Women Lead are doing a joint journal drive all of this week for Project Safe!! Please bring in any unused and new journals! Journals can not have any pages ripped out or any writing in them. There will be a collection box outside the Dean’s office and we will be accepting them at the bake sale!
