Students Continue to Collect for the Center for Food Action and the Grieco School

Over the past few weeks students and teachers have been donating food, money, and gifts to the CFA.  Students have been using free time to help wrap gifts in the Theatre.  On Friday, Jennifer Rothman from the CFA spoke at the Morrow House Assembly.  Ms. Rothman and Maxie Anthon, the EMS 8th grade student who spearheaded this year's initiative, urged students to prepare "Snack Packs" for Grieco School students, and students will dress down on Thursday and Friday of this week as they bring in food for the "Snack Packs."  See this link to learn more about the CFA "Snack Pack" program: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BClsT_3ki4w
