Opportunities for Kindness
Grocery assistance to ease food insecurity
We’re reaching out to ask for your support in helping a local family in our district who is currently going through a tough time. Rather than collecting food items, we are gathering monetary donations to purchase groceries directly on their behalf.
If you're able to contribute — even a small amount — it will go a long way toward easing the burden for this family and ensuring they have access to the essentials.
Thank you for your compassion and generosity. Your kindness truly makes a difference.
brand new underwear (various sizes)
From time to time, our students experience situations such as bathroom accidents, illness, or spills that require a change of clothing during the school day. While we do our best to keep extra items on hand, our supply of new underwear is currently running very low.
We are seeking donations of new, unused underwear in a variety of sizes (both boys’ and girls’, sizes 4T through youth large). These items will be used to support students in unexpected situations so they can return to class feeling comfortable and cared for.
If you're able to contribute, donations can be dropped off at the main office during school hours. Your generosity helps us ensure all students feel supported and respected throughout the school day.
Thank you for being a part of our caring school community.

headphones for students in need
We are reaching out to our generous community for support as we continue to prepare for the entire school year. Many of our students rely on headphones for various lessons, listening exercises, or other learning activities. Unfortunately, we sometimes encounter issues when headphones break, and some families are unable to replace them due to financial constraints.
To ensure that all students have the necessary tools to engage fully in their education, we are requesting donations of new or gently used headphones. These will be kept on hand to distribute to students who need them throughout the school year. By helping us keep students equipped, you will be playing an essential role in supporting their academic success.
If you are able to donate headphones or have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated.

Food and Gas Gift Card Drive
Looking to support high school students with gas and food gift cards. Food gift cards could be for places close to Mount Carmel East or quick stop restaurants through June. Gift cards can be dropped off to the district or high school offices. Thank you for your generosity and help!
MS/HS book fair donations
We’re reaching out to our wonderful community for a small but meaningful act of kindness! Our middle school and high school students are excited about the current book fair, but not all of them have the means to purchase a book.
We’re kindly asking for small donations — between $5 and $10 — to help make sure every student has the opportunity to choose a book that sparks their imagination and encourages a lifelong love of reading.
Every dollar counts, and your generosity will put books directly into the hands of students who will cherish them.

Thank you for helping us turn pages into possibilities!

Outdoor Education Camp Supplies
As we prepare for an elementary outdoor camp experience, we want to ensure that every student feels supported, comfortable, and ready to fully enjoy this opportunity. We understand that preparing for camp can come with unique challenges, and some families may need extra assistance with supplies or other needs.
If you are able to provide support by donating gear for children to attend camp—please don’t hesitate to reach out to the elementary social worker, Jennifer Stockberger. 740-967-1401 ext. 505 OR you can drop off gear at the district office or elementary office at your convenience. We hope to have supplies at the school by May 9th. FYI After camp this year, the supplies that can be washed and saved for another student in the future will be washed and stored at the school for another year of camp. (IE sleeping bags/luggage/footwear)
We’re committed to making this trip a positive and memorable experience for every student.
