Highland students collected almost 5000 items for donation to the MC church's food drive. All students assisted Fire Department Coffee in loading all the items in their truck to take to the church. Mrs. Burke, Ms. Carl, and Ms. Stahler were the winning classrooms at each grade level. These classes went to the church to assist the volunteers in unloading the items. Highland appreciates all the donations sent in for the drive! The students were so proud of their collection and enjoyed the sense of giving to others. Thank you to Fire Department Coffee for the help in getting all the items there and for the coffee for the adults! Thank you to the transportation department for getting all the students there to volunteer as well.
