DATES TO REMEMBER

Tahoma Junior High will be having its annual Toy Drive starting on December 8th and runs through December 19th. Last year’s event was very successful and we hope this will be the same!!!

Toys must be new and unwrapped. You may also give financially by check or cash and is counted as $5 = 1 toy. . Checks need to be made out to TJH, indicate Toy Drive on the memo line. All toys and financial contributions will be given to the Maple Valley Food Bank.
