As the holiday season approaches, it's a wonderful time for giving and receiving, as well as an opportunity to teach our children the importance of giving back to the community. Eagle Heights Elementary is hosting its annual holiday food drive, which helps provide meals to families in need throughout the Smithville area. Thanks to the generosity of our Eagle Heights families, this program has been a great success year after year. To continue this tradition, we are asking for donations of non-perishable food items. Each grade level has been assigned specific items to collect to help make the process easier. Thank you for your support and for helping us make a difference this holiday season!
