Food Drive

Along with reading, writing, and math, NBE strives to teach its students how to be good citizens and caring individuals.  Last week, we reached out to the community and held a food drive to benefit the Loami Food Pantry.  Although it was a competition among the grade levels, the real winners are the Food Pantry and the families it serves.

Our class donated 169 food items alone!  In all, 2nd grade donated over 300 food items!  As a school, we donated over 2,000 food items!  The workers at the food pantry commented that their shelves have never been this full!

 

The donaters!

 

This is just 1 table full of food!  The custodians had to keep setting up more tables throughout the week!

 

Check out the overflow on the floor and under the tables!

Thanks to the students of NBE, area families will have a wonderful, plentiful Thanksgiving this year!
