The Main Street Academy is launching an initiative to help our families impacted by the federal government shutdown. You may support this initiative by donating money, can goods, laundry supplies, toiletries, gift cards, in-kind services (i.e. transport students to/from school), etc.. Please bring all donations to the main office. Additionally, if you are impacted by the shutdown and are in need of assistance, including counseling, please send me a confidential email ([email protected]). You are not alone. We are here to help!
Be well,
Principal Parker
