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!

Preparing the Bags

In order to support the efforts of the Food Bank of Lincoln, our Student Council will be hosting a food drive in conjunction with our Spirit Week next week.  At the conclusion of the week (which happens to be Halloween), we will be trick-or-treating throughout the Fallbrook neighborhood.

We are well aware that many residents in our neighborhood won't be home between 3:00-4:00 on Friday afternoon, but we still want residents to be able to participate.  Thus, tomorrow (October 23rd) we will be delivering grocery bags to every home in Fallbrook, allowing residents to fill the bags with canned goods and other non-perishable items.

We are grateful to the good people at the Fallbrook Super Saver, who graciously donated 250 bags for us to use.

We are also grateful for the work of students in the Schoo Middle School TLC classes, who helped to staple these messages onto the bags.

It looks like they had a lot of fun helping us in our Me to We efforts to scare hunger!

We are looking forward to distributing the bags tomorrow after school, and we would be so grateful for your willingness to join us!
