                                             "We’ve got them covered!"

The Junior Beta Club, Builder’s Club, and Student Council will be sponsoring McClure’s first Blanket Drive.  The drive begins Monday, February 11 and ends February 25. The blankets collected will benefit the Marietta Extension, an organization that welcomes people who are without shelter on cold winter nights. They are in great need of NEW twin size blankets, and this is the perfect opportunity for McClure to show that "We’ve got them covered!"  Please encourage your child to participate in this worthwhile endeavor.   There is a prize for the team that collects the most blankets.
