 The Senior Class has racked up about 2 full boxes of food and plans to continue adding to that supply before the end of the month. “Mr. Eliot and I believe that students should help to serve and provide for their community, so we enjoy doing projects like this with the senior class; their donations impact the community,” says Senior Class sponsor, Mrs. Manheim. The Senior Class hopes that by the end of the month, they will have at least 3 boxes full of food to donate to this worthy cause.
