Grand Prairie Elementary School -

The joy a soldier plus his/her unit feels upon receiving a care package brings such happiness to them while they are away from their family and loved ones. Our Veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great, and we must never forget all they have done to ensure our freedom. Let's continue to show our Heroes in the Military the honor and support they deserve from District 202. Final day will be February 14th. ❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙❤️🤍💙 FOOD ITEMS: Individually wrapped Cookies/ Full package of Cookies Granola Bars/ Protein Bars Rice Krispie Treats Candy Gum Mints Cheez-its Energy Chews Microwave Macaroni & Cheese Cups Microwave Popcorn Fruit and Grain bars Beef jerky Slim Jim Nature Valley Biscuits Individual packets of protein powder/ Carnation Instant Breakfast Packets/ Oatmeal packets and Hot chocolate packets Emergen-C Drink Mix packets NON-FOOD ITEMS: (Travel & Full size items) Dental Floss/Flossers Toothbrush Toothpaste Small tissue packs Alcohol free aftershave Alcohol free mouthwash Body Wash (liquid only) Chapstick/ Lip balm Combs Denture adhesive Denture cleaner (tablets) Deodorant (unscented) Disposable razors Word-find books Hand & body lotion Toenail clippers New undershirts (all sizes) New underwear (all sizes) Playing cards Shampoo/3-in-1 Shaving cream ( Non-Aerosol) New sweatpants (all sizes) New sweatshirts (all sizes) New winter gloves/hats Diabetic socks Female toiletries/ Women's Athletic socks Bandages Foot Powder Anti-itch cream Vitamin C Drops/ Cough Drops Multi-Vitamins Nasal Spray (no glass) Laundry Sheets/ Dryer Sheets (fragrance free)

Flags were already at half-staff to honor Illinois State Police Trooper Clay Carns, who died in the line of duty on December 23. Flags are lowered for 30 days from the death of a President or former President.

Flags at all District 202 buildings will fly at half-staff today for National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
