Dear KDHSA Families,
CRC Global Solutions has become a wonderful supporter of our school and community. They are a worldwide company that helps grow other companies. CRC has a partnership with local grocery stores. These stores often have extra food on hand and no place to store it, so they donate it to CRC who, through their charitable program, "We care, We Share", distributes it to the community. They would like to invite all KDHSA families to a distribution event this Saturday at Divine Mercy Church located at 4337 Sal Lentini Pkwy, Kenner, LA 70065. The event will begin at 10:00 A.M. and will go on as long as there is food available. This will be a carpool line event where all attendees will remain in their vehicles in a designated line. Volunteers will be present to direct traffic and to deliver food items to each vehicle as it arrives at the distribution point. If you have any questions and/or concerns, please contact Michelle Duplantier, Parent Liaison, at michelle.duplantier@discoveryhsf.org or (504) 814-9822.

26th Street Carpool Route. There is some work being done on the back of Home Depot building. Currently, they have a portion of 26th blocked off. They will stop work during our carpool times so traffic can flow in all directions as usual. This should not pose a problem for our carpool today.
