SECOND HARVEST IS COMING!
Coming just in time to add goodies to your Thanksgiving table, Second Harvest Mobile Food
Pantry will be in beautiful downtown Gays Mills on Wednesday, November 26th, the day before
the great turkey appears! We have so many blessings to count in our community, not the least
of which is benefiting from the generosity of organizations like Second Harvest and other local
groups which share the wish that no one goes hungry. No telling what will be in the offerings
this month, but probably some produce, dairy, meat, eggs and bread. Come to 212 Main Street
and please try to get there no earlier than 1:30, as we will begin at 2:00 and continue until
3:00. Look for Harry to direct you, proceed to the greeter and tell them the number of
households you’re picking up for, and the number of people in each of those households. Also,
if there is any item on the selection list you do NOT want, please tell the greeter. Although we
will be without our usual, awesome North Crawford kids, due to their holiday break, we will
have fantastic volunteers to push carts to your car, load bags and boxes in the trunk, and send
you on your way with a gobble and a smile.
And as always, at the Gays Mills distribution site, we are grateful for the generosity and great
food selection brought to us by Second Harvest. Once again, in October we gave out food for
300 households.
With questions, please call JoAnn Gonos (608)-872-2583.

Check it out!! North Crawford students earned a Bronze Level through SWTC for our district's participation in the Dual Enrollment program. Last year, 29 of our high school students earned a total of 65 college credits by taking classes through the Start College Now, CollEdge Up, and Transcripted Credit programs through Southwest Tech. These programs saved our NC families nearly $11,000 in tuition costs. More importantly, these courses provided our students with a kickstart on their college and future career journeys. Great things are happening at North Crawford!! #TrojanPride
Tomorrow’s breakfast features something new and special — our baked-from-scratch donuts! We’ve been hard at work perfecting a healthier recipe as an occasional treat for our students. Donut testing may be serious work, but someone had to do it.
We’ve added a healthier twist to make them compliant with our reduced sugar guidelines. They’ll be served alongside cheese omelets and ham & cheese omelets for a protein-packed start to the day.
