Students Change Hunger!

This year the Students of Service (SOS), led by Mr. Brown, held a school- wide food drive to collect food for the less fortunate in our community. This food drive, named Students Change Hunger, collected over 400 pounds of food! The food items collected included canned foods and boxes of macaroni and cheese.

 

Originally, the food drive was just a SOS-run event, but it was decided that it could become a competition between the grades over which could donate the most food! This would help the grades earn points for Battle of the Classes, which will be held the week before Winter Break.

 

SOS also teamed up with the Friends of Animals Club, led by Mrs. MacLean, to collect pet supplies and food. Examples of supplies included toys, dog leashes, water bottles, beds, and dog and cat treats.

 

Overall over 400 pounds of food were donated to local communities. That's a lot of food! The seniors donated the most, followed by the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors.  All of these donations will help the less fortunate in our communities in the coming holiday season.
