Food Fight!!!
As mentioned in our last blog, we kicked off our annual food drive called "Food Fight for FROM" last week. From now until May 23, all schools in Lowell will be collecting food and toiletries for FROM. Cherry Creek is in competition with the other schools in the district to try to collect the most items. A group of high school Interact Club members visited our Early Act meeting to give our students a better idea of what the "Food Fight" is and what FROM needs most. They also filmed Early Act students for a commercial they are making to promote the food drive. As soon as it's available we will share! |
FROM is requesting healthier versions of foods this year. For example, they ask that people choose to send in fruit packed in light syrup or water rather than the heavy syrup, or low sodium options rather than salted. Also new this year--Amway is donating $1 for each item donated up to $10,000. Obviously we want that max dollar amount, so the goal is to collect 10,000 items. Monetary donations will be accepted as well. |
