Reading incentive for November

Each year the members of the Pierce-Zieger Veterans of Foreign War Auxiliary collect items to be shipped to our area service men and women. These ladies plan to mail the collected items by the end of November in hopes that the packages will reach the members of our armed forces by Christmas. This is truly an honorable project and we wish to have the students at Jacobson show their support by collecting specific items. Next week....paper goods, personal care items, or nonperishable food items. Thank you for your support.
