Helping Fight Hunger on 7B

7B students brought in 3,434 cans with their food and cash donations.  A huge thank-you goes out to the 7B students and their families for their generous contributions over the last few weeks.  All donations went to the Salvation Army's Food Pantry to benefit those in need right here in our community.

Salvation Army's Annual Canned Food Drive is Underway!

 

          Student-Council is hosting this year's Annual Canned Food Drive.  All donations go the the Salvation Army's Food Pantry.  You can donate anytime between now and December 14th.   Food from 7B will be gathered in Mrs. Enos' classroom. 

           There is a competition at Fremont Middle School, rewarding the team with the largest donation. 7B also has rewards for students who bring in 15 or more cans and an additional reward for our team if we bring in the most cans for the whole building.  

           If you cannot donate food, we will even accept spare change and submit our grand total from our money jar at the end of the drive (50 cents = 1 can).  This money will be given directly to the Salvation Army as well.  Even one penny can make a difference.  We appreciate your support.

THANK-YOU FOR YOUR TOILET PAPER DONATIONS!

Team 7B donated 227 rolls of toilet paper to Care Corps at the conclusion of our toilet paper drive!  Thank you for your cash and toilet paper roll donations!  The kids are very proud of their contribution to this cause and we're proud of their strong effort too!
