Brouillet Students & Staff Give Back

The students and staff at Brouillet are in full swing in finding ways to help those around us. Our Brouillet Service Crew are coordinating the efforts because an important part of education is learning to help others through service learning. Here are a few of the service opportunities you can help us with:

1. Cookies for Troops: Nov. 1-9
Bobcat Service Club is asking each student to bring in at least 1 dozen store bought cookies. These cookies will be shipped to soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.
2. Food Drive: Nov. 9-22
The service club is collecting non-perishable food to provide Thanksgiving Baskets for Brouillet families, Holiday Food Baskets in December, and then stocking the shelves of our local food banks. We will accept all canned or boxed items and also Thanksgiving Feast items such as potatoes, canned yams and cranberry sauce, canned pumpkin, stuffing mix, gravy mix.... If anyone would like to donate a frozen turkey (and can store it until Nov. 22), they can contact Cheryl Larson at 841-8670.
3. Giving Tree: Nov. 22-Dec. 13
Families and community members can stop by the front foyer at Brouillet to get a gift tag with a gift idea for a Brouillet student. Gifts should be returned, unwrapped, with the gift tag taped to it no later than December 13th.
