Food Drive
 
 
 
 
Typically at this time of year we are contacted by an organization about hosting a toy drive. They were not in contact this year, but wanting to do something to support our community this holiday season we reached out to the Brookline Emergency Food Bank to see if we could help.  They were glad to hear from us! below you'll find the preferred donations this year, sorted by grade.  We'll have carts in the lobby for drop-off or bring them down from your class in bulk as they arrive to you.
 
Thanks to the 4th grade team who connected the dots on this so fast!
 
The dates of the food drive are Dec. 12th- 19th.

The link below will take you to the Heath After School Activities Program (HASAP) website. 
 
Important Notifications
1)  Registration will now be done completely online — and classes will be filled on a "First Come, First Served" basis.   
2)  Payment will be required at the time of registration.
3)  Only credit card payments will be accepted.  
 
We realize this is a change from our former registration and enrollment process.  We thank you in advance for your patience as you go through the process this first time. We hope you see the benefit of the change, as it will provide transparency during the enrollment process, allowing you to know if your child got into his/her preferred class(es).    
 
 
Kind regards,
The HASAP Team
