As winter approaches, we understand that it can bring challenges for many families. To support our Gorham school community, we've gathered a list of local resources available to you and your loved ones.
We want to help ensure that your child is warm this winter season and has a full belly during their time at home. If financial resources are strained and limit your ability to buy warm winter gear for your child (coat, snow pants, boots, hats, & mittens), or you're interested in learning more about our weekend Backpack Food Program & hygiene kits, please scan the QR code to be directed to school support. We understand the stress associated with this time of year and are here to help!
Our priority this season is to make certain every child in our school has warm winter gear and food during our long December vacation. Many have asked how to help. Here are a few ways...
