StuCo. will be running the canned food drive from Nov. 16-20 where students can bring in various types of foods that will eventually be donated to the food pantry.
StuCo tries to emphasize on doing activities to help different places around the area which is one of the reasons why they do the canned food drive.
“StuCo. wants to do more for the community than just the school,” sponsor Shelly Grimshaw said. “And I like to see how giving the kids are at FHN.”
One teacher who has inspired his class to bring in various types of food each year is Ron Ochu as his class has won the competition more than 10 times. StuCo’s goal this year, however, is to encourage as many classes to participate as possible to reach out to the community even more.
“Hopefully everyone will participate,” StuCo. cabinet member Amanda Cornett said. “But I think that at least one third will help out.”
There are many steps for the canned food drive to be a sucess and Crystal Friedman, StuCo. president, is looking forward to the challenge.
“I want to be there for every step of the drive and the collection process,” Friedman said. “I hope a lot of people help and get involved. Help us help them.”
