Edgewood Middle School announced that during their Annual Food Drive they collected over 12,250 items, valued at nearly $17,250, that will help the community greatly. Principal JoElla Hauselman would like to thank all of you who helped by bringing in items, donating money, and giving their time and energy to carry, sort, and organize the items and boxes.
Items were assigned point values, and the Student Resource Time (SRT) class then earned points by bringing in the items. This year, students were rewarded with a trip to North Pointe Cinema to watch Elf followed by a celebration in the afternoon that will include several activities for the students. In addition, the three classes that earned the highest percentage of their goal won prizes. The first place winners got their choice between ice cream sundaes or pizza, second place got whichever first place didn't want, and third place got cookies. The top class was Mrs. Helser's, earning almost 17 times their goal. Second place was Mrs. Thompson, and third, went to Mr. Cook.
Tammy Adameic shared some impressive stats. $15,665 was collected in donations total from local businesses, families, and fundraisers to help purchase many items for the family boxes. $2,000.00 was donated to Our Father's House (OFH). $2,000.00 was donated to Combined Community Services (CCS). 60 family boxes were donated to Edgewood Middle School families, employees, and others. Approximately 7000 items were donated to CCS, OFH, and The Beaman Home.
Edgewood Middle School would like to thank all who contributed and take this opportunity to wish the community a happy holiday.
