GMS Scholars
GM Scholars will be having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich making party after school on the last week before winter break. Students will be making sandwiches to donate to Martha's table. They will be donated to feed the homeless in DC. We would ask for a donation of wheat sandwich bread, peanut butter and (preferably squeezable) grape or strawberry Jelly. You can bring your donations to the main office on or before Monday, December 17th. Thank you!!!!!!
