Valentine’s Cookie-Gram Donations Needed!
Hello families!
JJ Daniell is excited to host a Valentine’s Cookie-Gram Fundraiser, and we are asking for donations of pre-made, ready-to-bake sugar cookie dough (the kind that comes already portioned or in a roll-no homemade items, please).
Students will decorate and package the cookies to spread some Valentine cheer, and all funds raised will go directly to support the American Heart Association.
If you’re able to donate, please send cookie dough to school by Friday, February 6th. Your support helps our students give back to a meaningful cause-thank you for helping us make a difference! Donations should be brought to the front office any day next week.
Students who want to purchase a cookie gram for a friend, a staff member, or even for themselves may do so Monday, Feb. 9 – Wednesday, Feb.11 before school in the front lobby or during lunch for $2.00 each. Cookie Grams will be delivered Friday, Feb. 13.
Get ready for Hoops for Heart Challenge, kicking off on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. Please register today by clicking here, or using the QR code below:
The Hoops for Heart event will have different basketball activities and challenges for participants. If your child would like to participate, we ask them to donate $20 to the American Heart Association. All proceeds will go to the American Heart Association to raise awareness for things like congenital heart defects, nutrition security, CPR training, mental well-being, and more as they work to end heart disease and stroke. Through your child's participation and support, you’re not only helping hearts in our community but also helping those who need it most. Your donation will fund groundbreaking research and programs that keep hearts beating and help people have longer, healthier lives.
All money raised goes to the American Heart Association. Your student should see Coach Lee or Coach Bodiford with questions.
Thank you for keeping hearts everywhere beating strong!
