Chicot families,
We want to remind you of two events happening on Thursday.
1. This week is our last food distribution before winter break. We have enough food for 45 families. We begin at 3:15 PM in the bus loop. Please DO NOT arrive early or line up in the loop.
2. All Kindergarten through 5th Grade students, parents, and guardians! Come out and enjoy music, arts, crafts, and fun this Thursday at 5:30! You can meet our student leaders, watch the 2nd Grade music presentation, and witness our talented 4th and 5th Grade Choir sing. Find out more about what your kids are learning about, have fun, and every Chicot student gets a free book to take home and keep!
See you on Thursday!



If you are in need of food assistance during the holidays, please look at the information on the flyers for resources in the community.

2. Weekend bags (white health clinic bag): enough to last a weekend for a student. Students bring home on Friday.
3. Weekly grocery bag (brown recyclable bag): food for the entire family. One bag per family. Students bring home on Thursday.
Thanks!
