9th Annual Turkey Teacher Food Drive is underway now!

From now through November 18, help us fill our Backpack Program shelves and crown your favorite teacher as the new Turkey Teacher Champion!

  • Every donation earns points for your favorite teacher’s class.
  • Double points are for most-needed items like peanut butter crackers, ramen, and granola bars.
  • $1 = 5 points when given through your school’s PTO.
  • All items must be individually packaged.

Let’s show our Cardinals that their community cares. Every item, every snack, and every dollar makes a difference for our students. Drop off your donations at the FES front office or send directly to your child's teacher in your child's backpack!
