Henrico Christmas Mother Drive

Now through November 18th

Please contribute non-perishable food items for the Henrico Christmas Mother Food Drive by November 18th to first period classes! Foods that are good to contribute are peanut butter, canned soup, pasta, canned spaghetti sauce, macaroni and cheese, canned meats, cereal, and canned fruits and vegetables.
 
The Henrico Christmas Mother began in 1942 with a Varina teacher who asked her students to collect items to share with neighbors in need during the holidays. This tradition has continued for over 80 years and has grown into a partnership between the community, businesses, and schools to provide assistance like food, clothing, toys, and books to families, seniors, and individuals with disabilities in Henrico County. 

If each Godwin student brought in six non-perishable food items, we would collect over 10,000 food items! 

Thank you in advance for contributing to help the Henrico community!

SchoolLinks

We are excited to introduce SchooLinks, our new college and career readiness platform for students!  SchooLinks is designed to help students stay organized and on track throughout the college application process. This year, seniors will use SchooLinks to request transcripts and letters of recommendation, as well as track application requirements and deadlines.
