turning to our community for support. If you would like to help out with this campaign you can make a
donation through the School Cash Online: https://knoxschools.schoolcashonline.com/.

Please help us in reminding and thanking our students for staying strong with what they’ve done all year:
wearing masks, hats and hoodies off from 8-3:30, shorts that are actually visible, shirts with sleeves, no
outside food or drink (COVID restrictions continue), no food deliveries (COVID yet again), picking up their trash
when eating outside, school starts at 8:30, and that students need a note to check-out or leave school during
the school day. And if they tell you there is a skip day for any grade level, that is wishful thinking! Thank you!
