5/8 Buddy Food Drive

5th and 8th grade Buddies create a colorful parade to Town Hall

HMS 5th and 8th Grade Buddies are focusing on giving back to the community. Their first project was a food drive for the Yarmouth Food Pantry. On October 27th the buddies walked to Town Hall to drop off all of the donations they collected. 

 

Our students and teachers enjoyed the beautiful walk and the feeling that comes from learning about how we can help to support each other and our community. 

Our students at work

The Food Pantry coordinator let us know that the buddies collected 1,905 pounds of food for the food, which was more than double the amount of food they were expecting!

Our sincere thanks to our 5th and 8th grade students for their work on this important project and to the 5th and 8th grade teachers for creating this powerful learning opportunity. We're grateful to the staff at Town Hall for welcoming our students and teachers!
