It's time for the Peanut Butter Bowl, Mercedes ISD community! 🥜🏈🐅 This Friday night, at the Mercedes Tigers vs. Edinburg Bobcats varsity football game, we will be collecting as many jars of Peanut Butter as possible for our neighborhood food bank. Join us by bringing your peanut butter donations to the game—fans can make donations at the gate and students can drop off their jars at the fieldhouse. Prefer to donate online? Scan the QR code on the poster below and contribute $2 for a jar! The community raised a large deal of PB for this worthy cause last year, and the mighty Tigers are excited to do it again. Let’s show our community spirit, Mercedes! #MISDpride #MISDcommunity #MISDgives
