Canned Food Drive

The Eustace Middle School Student Council recently completed a canned food drive that exceeded all expectations.  Food items were collected through the month of November. Middle school students’ generosity and participation brought in 1,667 non-perishable food items for the community.  Fueling the generosity was not only the students’ desire to help those in need, but also the incentive that the grade level that brought the most food items would be rewarded with a lock-in at the school. 

The seventh grade started strong and was ahead for most of the month; but at the end of the competition the eighth grade out-gave the other students and won in the final count.  The race was so close that only 75 cans separated eighth and seventh grade.  So the eighth grade tested their teachers’ meddle through the all night lock-in.  And for their second place finish, the seventh grade was rewarded with a “half-day and hot dogs” party. 

Many of the cans will be delivered directly to Eustace ISD students and their families, while remaining food will be donated to the First Baptist Church of Eustace in an effort to benefit the greater community.  Thank you to everyone who donated food and please keep us in mind for next year’s canned food drive.
