May 13,2016 Hopkins Public Schools Hopkins Middle School Newsletter 215 Clark Street Hopkins, MI 49328 Ph: 269-793-7407 Fax: 888-557-7919 Committed to Quality Education for our Children s Future Hopkins Public Schools Cereal Drive During the summer months, most children in rural Allegan County do not have access to the free breakfast programs that are offered for low income students during the school year. Because hunger doesn t take a summer vacation, the Allegan County Food Pantry Collaborative is holding a cereal drive. The goal is 40,000 boxes of kid-friendly cereal during the month of May 2016. Reaching our goal will mean that every child whose family receives services from a member pantry will receive a box of cereal each week of the summer vacation months. Each student and staff member of Hopkins Middle School is encouraged to bring in at least one box of cereal during May. An added challenge could be one box per week or one box per grocery visit!
