Hurricane Harvey Fundraiser

As a school community, we want to do our part to show our support of those impacted by Hurricane Harvey! We have decided to "adopt" the elementary classes in Aransas County ISD and collect gift cards that can be used by the educators in these Pre-K - 5th grade classrooms to purchase supplies and materials for their classrooms. All campuses in ACISD suffered extensive damage and are currently closed. Their district is working hard to complete the repairs needed to try and reopen schools as soon as possible. Due to the extensive damage they sustained, teachers at these schools are in desperate need of school supplies. However, they currently do not have a place to store any supplies that might be collected and sent to them.

So, we have decided to do a Gift Card Drive to collect gift cards from Target, Walmart, and Amazon, that we will donate to these elementary educators in Aransas County ISD. These gift cards will be sent to our contact in ACISD to be used for the purchase of student supplies and instructional materials. Please note in the image below which gift card we have designated to each grade level at Cannon, in an effort to collect as many gift cards as possible! 

Please send your gift cards to school from September 11th-22nd. Students can bring gift cards donations to their classroom teacher. We will look forward to sharing the progress each grade level is making on their gift card donations for this VERY important cause! THANK YOU for your support!!
