The spirit of giving was on full display during the District’s annual Fall Food Drive as students from every campus came together to help make a difference for families in our community! Through the generosity of our students and families, more than 12,800 nonperishable food items were collected to support both the First Melissa Angel program and the Melissa Community Outreach Food Pantry. Student representatives from each campus joined in helping collect the donated items, bringing together the generosity and hard work of Cardinals across the district.
A special shout-out to Cardinal Renaissance Academy and the Sixth Grade Center for leading the way in donations! CRA collected an impressive 2,945 items, with the Sixth Grade Center close behind at 2,699! The homeroom or advisory class at each campus that collected the most items will also be treated to a special surprise from Birdie!
Way to go, Cardinals! We are so proud of the generosity shown by our students and families. It's moments like these that remind us what makes Melissa special.
