Food Drive Update
Last week Student Council asked everyone to bring food for our annual "Stuff the Bus," which benefits the Saco Food Pantry. We asked, and you delivered! Many thanks to everyone who donated to help those in need and make a positive difference in others' lives.
Which class collected the most food and will get to pie their dean? You'll find out at the next Pillar Assembly!
Thank you to all the students and class advisors for helping out at our annual door-to-door food drive and standing at Shaw's for the Saco Food Pantry. You rocked it!
We filled 29 banana boxes full of nonperishable food and two cases of water and had over $700.00 in monetary donations.
Thanks for making a difference in others' lives!
