If you signed up, please drop off your items on time. Our Sunshine Committee needs time to organize the donations, prepare the treats, and fill any remaining gaps before serving 80–85 staff members.

If you’re unable to bring your donation, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make other arrangements.

🦉 TODAY’S LOST & FOUND UPDATE 👀

Okay parents… the labeling campaign is working. 😂👏

We were able to return TWO water bottles today for one very simple reason:

THEY HAD NAMES ON THEM. 🎉

No detective work.
No “mine is blue.”
No asking a 6-year-old to describe a water bottle they haven’t seen since sometime last week.

Name → kid → back where it belongs. 🙌

Unfortunately, while two water bottles checked out, the Lost & Found apparently accepted several new tenants. 😂

We’ve got a Minnie Mouse bag, more water bottles and enough jackets, hoodies and sweaters to suggest that Highlands has its own clothing exchange program.

And yes… ⚡ Pikachu is STILL here. His trainer remains missing. 😂

👀 Take a good look at the picture with your child. If you recognize something, send your Owl to the Lost & Found to pick it up.

And tonight, grab a Sharpie and add your child’s first + last name to the things that like to wander: jackets, hoodies, lunch boxes and water bottles.

Two labeled water bottles made it home today. 🙌

We would LOVE to lose a few more residents tomorrow. 😂

Please come collect your children’s belongings before this thing needs an addition. 🦉🤣
