The Community District Alliance and the entire Bordentown Regional School District provided over 50 baskets of Thanksgiving supplies to families in need this holiday season.
Donations were received from BRHS students, faculty and staff. Michelle Quigley’s class organized the donations that came from the high school. With some of the monetary contributions, Jodie Glenn and Cara Jones and Michelle Quigley’s life skills classes went to Acme and to shop for supplies.
