Hello Cook Elementary Families-
We are nearing the end of our Tackle Hunger Food Drive. Our goal is to make 700 pantry packs for the Bountiful Food Pantry. The food donated benefits students throughout Davis County- including students from Cook Elementary! We are getting close to our goal but could still use your help! We will be extending the contest over the weekend. Items still needed are Easy Mac, granola bars, oatmeal packets, squeeze pouch applesauce, and cheese or peanut butter crackers. If you're having a difficult time finding Easy Mac in local stores, you can purchase it on Amazon. Cash donations are also accepted. We will wait until Wednesday to determine the winner of the pizza party. Thank you for your generous support in our efforts to Tackle Hunger!

Can I donate money and have it counted toward the contest?
