To participate in certain volunteer opportunities, including chaperoning field trips, parents and guardians are required to complete fingerprinting through Anne Arundel County Public Schools (AACPS).

Our school has participated in and contributed significantly to a great cause each year. Today, our Harvest for the Hungry: Kids Helping Kids campaign kicks off! Please consider donating online: https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/anne-arundel-county-food-bank-inc/aacps-harvest-for-the-hungry
Harvest for the Hungry: Kids Helping Kids is the Anne Arundel County Food Bank’s largest fundraiser, accounting for over one-third of their annual donations. We play an essential role in providing food for our students! This year, we would like to encourage donations online. Here's why: The Food Bank can purchase more food per dollar with donated funds and feed more members of our community than with donated goods. This includes purchasing fresh foods, such as meats, vegetables, and fruits. We will continue to encourage food donations as well. No donation is too small to make a difference!
