The 34th annual Thanksgiving dinner, dress up day and food drive will be held at Sheckler Elementary School Nov. 17 for students in grades 1-4. Family members planning to attend must turn in advance payment and a reservation form to teachers by Nov. 11. Sheckler students will have the cost deducted from their lunch account. Make checks payable to Catasauqua Cafeteria Fund. Guests are asked to report to the gym to be called to enter the cafeteria with them. Students must eat at their class’ assigned time and may not be pulled out to have lunch with siblings in other grades.

Nonperishable food items and canned goods will be collected during the dinner and will be donated to Catasauqua Food Bank. Items may be sent in with your student on or before the day of the Thanksgiving dinner.

Contact Home and School Association President Heather Walp at hwalp21@aol.com to place an order for Catasauqua-pride clothing items to support the fund drive. According to Walp, the HSA is only $4,000 away from the goal.
