Senior Project Announcement: Community Food Drive & Distribution
This year's senior project is dedicated to fighting food insecurity in our community through a food drive and food distribution initiative.
HOW IT WORKS:
Elementary School will partner with the Hanover Food Pantry to collect non-perishable food donations that will directly support families in need.
JSHS will focus on organizing a food distribution event to serve local communities.
Food Drive Competition:
We're calling on ALL grades to participate in a friendly competition! Here's how to get involved:
- Donate non-perishable food items to your grade's collection point
- Weekly pickups will occur every Friday, led by the senior class
- Each grade's donations will be weighed and tracked weekly
- A running total will be displayed in the cafeteria so you can see how your grade is doing
The Prize: The grade that collects the most food by weight will win a pizza party, generously donated by Mr. Ortega!
Important Dates:
- Food drive runs now through November 20th
- Weekly pickups: Every Friday
Let's come together as a school community to make a real difference. Every donation counts!
