Northampton Area Middle School is holding a fundraiser of soft, warm and comfy Northampton blankets measuring 60 inches by 70 inches. All proceeds go toward student rewards and activities.

Each blanket costs $30 (cash only). Your order will not be placed until payment is made. Send your cash to Mrs. Cowitch at the school’s main office.

The middle and high schools’ food pantries are here to help! To provide holiday meals for students and their families, consider donating ham and turkey vouchers, instant potatoes, beans, carrots and other canned vegetables, cranberry sauce, evaporated milk and mixes of stuffing, gravy, biscuits and sugar cookies.

The high school’s pantry also accepts donations of clothing and hygiene products.

If you are interested in donating or are interested in signing your child up for the backpack program, email school social worker Kaitlyn Leh at lehk@nasdschools.org.

In addition, the NAMS Food Pantry is currently running a holiday toy drive. On the school’s website, there is an Amazon wish list to donate for this community project for the upcoming holiday. Items can be dropped off at room 379.
