Thanksgiving Food Drive

As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re reminded of the importance of community and kindness. Maywood PTSA is organizing our annual Thanksgiving Dinner Drive for those in need within our community and we need your help to make it a reality! Meals will be collected in the Maywood Middle School parking lot on November 21 from 4:00 - 5:30pm.

If you'd like to help, please consider:

  • Food Donations: Turkey dinner staples, i.e., turkey, aluminum foil/disposable roasting pan, gravy, potatoes, stuffing/rice, cranberry sauce, rolls/cornbread, green beans/corn/yams, etc. Canned/boxed/fresh are all welcome.
  • Financial Contributions: Monetary donations are accepted. Maywood PTSA will do the shopping and drop-off for you.
  • Volunteering: assist with receiving and distributing meals. Thursday, November 21st, 4:00pm-6:00pm at Maywood Middle School.

Together, we can spread love and gratitude this Thanksgiving. Thank you for your generosity! Please reach out to president@maywoodptsa.com with questions.

Fall Book Fair

Calling all bookworms! Our first Scholastic Book Fair of the year is quickly approaching and we need lots of amazing volunteers to make the week run smoothly and be extra fun for our kiddos. The Book Fair will be held during your child’s library time the week of December 2nd-6th, plus Wednesday and Thursday evenings. There are lots of time options, as well as opportunities for teens!
 
See schedule and sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0849AAAF2EA6F4C43-53094645-fall#/ 
 
 
Wondering how your child can pay for book fair books during their library hour? Create an eWallet so you don't have to worry about them losing cash at school! It's quick, convenient, and any funds not used up can be used at our Spring Book Fair in April. You can even share your child's eWallet with family and they can contribute money as well. Visit our Book Fair homepage for more information on how to get started!
