Paper or plastic? 
Don’t throw away paper or plastic bags you get at the supermarket! Community Pantry needs them to help feed the hungry. If you have bags, please donate them to the pantry. Every bag donated is one we don’t have to buy, and we’d rather use what little money we have for food.
For more information call 637-0340.
Independent Study
San Benito High School’s Independent Study program is accepting applications for the fall 2008 semester. It offers a means of individualizing the educational plan for students.
