Community Food Drive

The first annual St. Marys DCVI Community Food Drive was held on Tuesday night.  Students braved the rain to help collect an incredible amount of food for the Salvation Army Food Bank.   Groups were assigned routes and sent out with parent/teacher drivers with a goal of helping make the holidays better for local families in need.

Mrs. Jewson’s group was incredibly efficient, returning quickly with a load of food and a complete route.  The eager team grabbed another route and set out again.  Many of the groups were able to get multiple routes done.

The girls volleyball teams had issued a challenge to the boys basketball teams, and a small but mighty group of boys accepted the challenge.  While waiting for an announcement regarding who collected the most food, Mr. Marcou was overheard stating that “The real winners here are the people who will be receiving this food.  However, the volleyball girls came in a strong second.”   Mr. Shaddick argued that per player, his boys hauled in more than the girls.

Thanks to the efforts of the community food drive, the big bin has been filled twice, and we are close to filling it a third time!  Mr. Mills and Mr. Larsen will be taking a polar plunge on Friday at lunch.  Bring in more food so that Mr. Marcou will join them!!

Great work DCVI!  Thanks to all participants, and our parent & teacher drivers.

[Happy =D]

I'd like to say WOW.
Everytime this past week when I've passed by the food that had been collected I was constantly amazed.
It's nice to see that we as students at DCVI are starting to make a difference and getting involved.
It's a great feeling.
To be quite honest, I didn't think anyone thought we could do this. I'm really proud to be a Saluki.
Way to go LUK'S LET'S KEEP THIS SPIRIT ALIVE
