Annual Food Drive a Success

School and church families worked together, under the coordination of the student council, to collect nearly 6,000 items for this year’s food drive. Items collected were delivered to New Hope Apartments (South Side Office of Concern) on Wednesday, November 14, 2018. Members of the student council, the seventh grade class and parents helped to load all of the donations into several school family vehicles. Student council members, faculty advisers and parent volunteers then caravaned to the South Side Office of Concern where the donations were unloaded and presented to the staff. While at the facility, students had a chance to visit with a Life Skills counselor and client of New Hope to learn more about what is offered there.
