High Quality Instruction and Learning for Every Child, Every Day in Every Classroom December 2017

Students throughout the district show their holiday spirit and care for one another Students in schools throughout the district are showing their holiday spirit and care for others by hosting food, clothing, and gift drives to support families through the holidays. One example is Hazen High School’s leadership students who recently collected hundreds of pounds of food from students, families, and staff as part of their annual Thanksgiving Food Basket Drive. The baskets were completely full with green beans, stuffing, dessert options, and many other Thanksgiving staples. Also included was a $25

supermarket gift card to allow families to purchase a turkey. The baskets represent more than $10,000 worth of food.

This year, the Hazen High student effort was assisted by students at Risdon Middle School, who in only 9 days collected food and cash donations of over $1,100 to

make for 44 baskets of their own. The combined effort provided a fullThanksgiving dinner for more than 350 families from schools throughout the district.
