March Madness Food Drive Tournament Starts Tonight

Posted Date: 03/09/26 (12:49 PM)


Shaw Families,

Our March Madness Food Drive starts tonight.

Our food pantry shelves are low, and we are asking families to consider donating non-perishable food items, toiletries, or diapers to help support students and families in our community.

Most-needed items include peanut butter, canned tuna or chicken, rice, pasta, canned beans, soup, chili, oatmeal, cereal, Pop-Tarts, and granola bars.

Classes will compete in a March Madness-style bracket throughout the week, and the winning class will earn a basketball knockout game with teachers.

Tournament Schedule:
Tonight (Monday): Play-In Round for seeding; top four teams earn a bye
Tuesday: Round 1
Wednesday: Quarterfinals
Thursday: Semifinals
Friday through Monday: Finals

Thank you for your support and generosity.
