- Webber Student Council is hosting a Food Drive November 12th through November 16th. All donations will go to the Lake Orion Lions Club. We are accepting the following donations: mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, muffin mix, mushroom soup, evaporate milk, turkey gravy, canned pumpkin, pie crust, canned fruit, Jell-O, and any other non-expired, non-perishable food.
- Lake Orion Book Drive Do you have outgrown or unread books clogging up your shelves at home? You can put those books into the hands of young readers by donating them to the annual Lake Orion book drive! Simply bring ANY used or new books, from infant to adult, to the collection bin at your child's school. Staff will collect and sort donations and Preschool through 12th grade teachers will be invited to select books for classroom use. Books not adopted into classrooms will be donated to local literacy programs. Our book drive has placed thousands of books in to the hands of Lake Orion students over the years! Bring books anytime now through November 28. Thank you and happy reading!
- Snow Gear - Please send in snow gear in a separate bag. Large reusable bags work best. Students will be asked to take their boots off in the hallway so please make sure they are labeled and that you send in an extra pair of shoes for them to wear during the day. Please send me a note if you want your student to leave their snow gear in their locker instead of taking it home each day. If there is snow on the ground and your student does not have snow pants they will be asked to play on the black top during recess. If you are in need of snow gear, please let me know! Thank you!
