REBEL GIVING
Sanborn Central Coat Drive
Nearly 15% of Americans are currently living in poverty.  For these families and individuals, a warm coat is a budget extra they simply cannot afford. Sanborn Central Education Association (SCEA) invites area residents to make a difference in our neighbor’s lives by donating gently used coats of all sizes and winter accessories!  SCEA is working to collect clean, gently used warm coats and winter accessories (snow pants, boots, gloves, and hats) from now until November 4th. The process is simple: you drop off your extra coat(s) in the box at Sanborn Central and SCEA takes care of the rest. All donated coats will be cleaned and made available for distribution to Sanborn Central students in need.

Funny faces, tall black hats,
Horns and ghosts and witches' cats.
We have many good things to eat
With boys at the door saying, "Trick or treat!"
