StuCo Launches Food Drive for the Holidays

Robin De Pugh, StuCo Advisor

Student Council is launching a food drive at Sahuaro from 10/28-11/4 in an effort collect food for local Tucson families. The goal is to collect 10,000 pounds of food in one week. Gridley Middle School collected 6,000 pounds of food last year, so StuCo considers 10,000 pounds of food an attainable goal for Sahuaro.

Boxes are being delivered to homerooms on Friday, October 28. Student Council members will be visiting the classes during homeroom to introduce the food drive to all students. Their presentations should be exceptionally brief and are not expected to interfere with class. They are teaming up with local businesses and other schools in a school-wide effort this year. The goal is to collect the food ahead of the holiday season to enable families to have the food for the season.
The homeroom with the most pounds of canned food will receive a pizza party.
