Summary

Students from Moneys Mill Middle School announced the district's holiday gift-card drive (cards due Dec. 3), a toy-and-coat drive (collections through Dec. 11; distribution Dec. 17), and the district's semester break closure dates; staff and community members were invited to contribute.

Two eighth-grade students from Moneys Mill Middle School presented the board's December announcements, outlining holiday observances and community-support initiatives.

"I am Angelina Pham, an eighth grade student at Moneys Mill Middle School," said Angelina Pham as she introduced the announcements. Isaiah Parker, also an eighth grader, joined her in detailing the district's plans for the month.

The students said the district's homeless-education department is coordinating a gift-card drive themed 'Cards for Caring and More, the Gift of Options.' The announcement asked for gift cards in amounts of $25 from supermarkets, department stores and restaurants, with cards accepted through Dec. 3, 2025. The district is also conducting a toy-and-coat drive; collections will be accepted through Thursday, Dec. 11, and donations will be handed out on Wednesday, Dec. 17.

Administrators also announced the district's semester break: all district offices and schools will be closed from Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, through Friday, Jan. 2, 2026, with students returning on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026. The district asked stakeholders to consult its website for additional details.

Why it matters: holiday drives and clear closure dates help families and staff plan for winter break and provide organized support to students and families in need. The district provided specific deadlines and contact information for those wishing to contribute.
