Please donate NEW school supplies like pencil pouches, folders, #2 pencils, erasers, etc. - or just donate cash. Enfield is in need of our help. Over 15 million children throughout the country don’t have money for school supplies so let’s start locally.  The school supply drive will begin the Monday after vacation. Please give all donations to your homeroom teacher.  Thank you!  We are asking that each homeroom teacher collect these donations. They will be  collected 2-3 times during the week by Evergreen students. If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Goodale.
