Kramer Food Drive - October 27 - November 3
This year Kramer is participating in the annual Kiwanis Community Food Drive in a new and exciting way! We are asking families to send in boxes of cereal that we'll use to construct a giant dominoes run. Once we construct and film the run, all the cereal will go to the Talawanda-Oxford Pantry. The food drive runs from October 27 - November 3. Each homeroom will collect donations.
In addition to cereal, the pantry is collecting personal care items such as tissues, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, hand soap (liquid or bar), toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo & conditioner (travel size & larger), baby lotion, and band-aids. You may send in these items as well.

Destination Imagination
Talawanda's Destination Imagination program is a great way to get involved in a STEAM (STEM + Art!) activity even among the chaos of COVID-19! It is a team-based challenge program that requires creativity and teamwork. Teams can choose to solve one of six challenges in the areas of science, technology, fine arts, improv, outreach, and engineering - or teams of K-2nd grade complete the early learning challenge. While safety is still a top concern, this year's program is designed to make up lost time for kids to regain social skills through teamwork and engage in collaborative problem-solving
