In Mid-March, the students at Alton Elementary School took on a community service project to help the Mission Food Pantry. They learned the pantry was low on supplies and set out to collect 1,000 non-perishable food items through what they called the Sharing Cans with Caring Hands drive.
School-wide competitions were held between classrooms. Each month, the winning class was announced. Ten weeks later, the students reached their goal and a donation was made to the Mission Food Pantry of 1,000 items was made in the closing days of the school year.
Pictured are Alton Elementary School students Sophia Salinas, Isabella De la Cruz, Brenden Magee, and Rosendo Cabello, as a trailer was loaded with the school’s donations.
