This year is especially meaningful because it marks the 10th year that Stuff the Truck has supported Dannelly Elementary School! We are incredibly grateful for this continued partnership and the impact it has had on our students and school community.
This year, Stuff the Truck will once again collect snacks for the MPS Backpack Program benefiting Dannelly Elementary students. A teacher supply drive will also be held to provide much-needed classroom supplies for teachers throughout Montgomery Public Schools.
We are asking our Dannelly families, faculty, staff, and community members to come out and support this wonderful event. Stop by, make a donation, volunteer for an hour, or simply come out and show your Bulldog Pride!
Volunteers will help distribute flyers, accept donations, assist patrons, and box donated items. We are also seeking volunteers who can assist with delivering donated items to Grace Community Church at 2:30 p.m. following the event.
And there will be plenty of MPS spirit! 🎶📣 The JAG Band and BTW Cheerleaders will be joining us to bring energy and excitement throughout the event.
We are anticipating the BIGGEST Stuff the Truck yet, and we want Dannelly Elementary to show up in a BIG way!
Thank you for your continued support of our students, teachers, and school. We look forward to seeing you Saturday!
See you at Stuff the Truck! 🚚❤️🖤
