Food Drive

The fooddrive is coming! As IB students, we take action, andour students understand that they are not too young to make positive impacts on others in order to make the world a better place. One action we take is the yearly food drive. Dec 2nd through December 19th, we will be collecting food to donate to the OUR center. The OUR Center helps hundreds of people in our community every year with food, clothes, personal development, and so much more. Please donate what you can to help as many people in our community as possible. 

Food donations can include, but are not limited to, canned fruit and vegetables, pasta, pasta sauce, mac-n-cheese, peanut butter, tuna fish, canned chicken, soup, stew, canned ravioli, 100% fruit juice, crackers, baby food, baby formula, diapers, hygiene goods, beans, and cereal. For donations, classes will earn points collectively to earn class rewards. The prizes are: 200 points equals a Hat Day, 400 points equals a Game Day, and 600 points equals a movie or Read-in Day. Foods are worth 1 point or 5 points. Pop-top cans are worth 5 points each. The top prize is FEEDING THE MOST PEOPLE!! GO ALPINE!!!

Thank you!

Community Night

Hello everyone!

Thank you for participating in November’s Community Night at Noodles & Co. We raised $271. Great job everyone!.

We are going to try something a little different for our next Community Night. It will be on Wednesday, December 11 from 4-8pm at the Get Air Trampoline Park located at 2251 Ken Pratt Blvd.

Instead of making a donation to Alpine, they will offer anyone who says they are from Alpine a 30% discount on jump time. Note that you must mention you are from Alpine Elementary School to get the 30% discount. Hope to see you all there!
