MES food shelf collection

Students at Motley Elementary School took on the challenge to collect items for the Motley Food Shelf in one week in February. Above: The kindergarten class with Principal Jason Luksik displayed how much food was collected.

“The students and community really came through, especially after we had just finished the collection efforts for Haiti,” said parent coordinator Angie Niemi. She loaded 10 large boxes into her van to deliver to the Motley Food shelf on Thursday. “This is a good way for the kids to learn how to support their community, too,” said Principal Luksik. “We were very happy with how much food was given.” (Staples World photo by Janice Winter)
