DECA Service Project
Forbush DECA is sponsoring a service project this week to collect cleaning and sanitizing supplies for our classrooms. In a proactive effort to protect the health of our school community, we are asking students and parents to donate the following items: sanitizing wipes for desks and chairs, hand-sanitizer, and bottles of hand soap. We will collect these items in first period this week. We will have a class winner each week, then the class that collects the most overall will receive Bojangles Biscuits for breakfast.
