Christmas season is about helping others around you. While Christmas is a season of festivities for many, we have others who are feeling lonely, more than any other time of the year.
The spirit of sharing during this season should never be forgotten. Student Council advisors Beth Orr and Derek Bates suggested Student Council members participate in something that benefits the community.
Council members also felt that if they combined
efforts withFFAmembers and advisor Rick Swenson, the outcome would be greater.
Student Council President Courtney Latcham said, ”We feel it is important to give something back to our community and as leaders of our school, we should take initiative.” They have decided to have a food drive, “Cans for Christmas.”
The main goal is to bring joy and holiday spirit to the families in need. The canned goods will be donated to the Montezuma
Food Pantry a couple of days before Christmas and distributed to local families who are less fortunate.
The goal is to have each student donate at least one can of food or dried goods. With the help of students, parents and community members, Student Council and FFA members hope to collect greater amounts.
Goods canbedelivered to Vannoys, Manestreet Hair Designers and the elementary or high school offices. Cans are due by Tuesday, December 21.
