Some of the events that we do here at McMurrich are the Vow of Silence, Caught in the Act, Character Devolopement,and we are starting a couple more on going events like a Plastic waste cmpaign,lLIghts out campaign, our 10 by 10 campaign, and of course our annual Food Drive. This year our goal is to raise 725 cans. Last year our goal was to raise 600 cans and we ended up rasing about 630 cans.
