Students at Goshen Elementary collected food for the local food bank. Students were glad to share what they had at home to help others in need. Charity Pieper said, "The food drive is a very good activity, especially around Thanksgiving so we can be thankful. I am glad we have this program and can help people in need." Each classroom collected food for a week and the student council came around to each room and gathered all the food to distribute to families in the area. Thanks to all those who donated items for the food drive!
