Trick-or-Treat!

What better way to spend Halloween than by trick-or-treating for canned goods for the Food Bank of Lincoln?

Last week, we delivered bags to every house in the Fallbrook neighborhood, and today, our fantastic student and staff volunteers walked (or drove) around the neighborhood to collect the bags.

It took a little bit of time to get organized:

But soon, we were on our way!

We traveled in pairs and dropped off the bags of donated goods into trucks, driven by some of our teachers, which followed each group around the neighborhood.

Though it was a lot of walking and lifting, students appeared to be having fun along the way!

Before we knew it, all bags had been collected, and it was time to return to school to unload them.

After all that work, we are proud to announce that we collected 1,029 pounds of food for the Food Bank of Lincoln!

We are grateful to all students and staff who helped us with this event, and we are especially grateful for the generosity of the Fallbrook residents who kindly donated to this great cause!

Delivering the Bags

Last Thursday's Student Council meeting was spent delivering our food drive trick-or-treat bags.  We divided up Fallbrook into four sections and set out to canvas the neighborhood.

We made sure that every home had one of our bags placed on its doorstep!

We were especially encouraged by the fact that a few households already had their canned goods and non-perishable donations ready to hand to us a full week early!  With Mrs. Steiner's help, we were able to announce the delivery of our bags through the neighborhood association website, so those who will be out-of-town during Friday's trick-or-treat still had the opportunity to participate!

It is safe to say that students had a great time delivering these bags!

We are so grateful for all students who came to Thursday's meeting to deliver bags, and we are especially grateful to Mrs. Carnie, Ms. Seuferer, and Miss Kavan who walked with us!

We are looking forward to Friday's trick-or-treat event, and we want to remind everyone that this event is open to any Schoo student - not just those in Student Council.  We are excited to see how many pounds of food we can collect!
