The students, staff and families of Doris Hoffman collected enough non-perishable food items that they surpassed their goal of 500!!! We are so excited to be able to give back to the community of Pacific by donating these items to the Agape Help House. To celebrate, we are having a Pre-K Pep Rally on Thursday, February 12th! Students will be greeted by cheering staff, walk through the hallways of fame and participate in new games during their gross motor time! Don't forget to wear PURPLE!
