Food Drive – Congrats to 3rd grade for bringing in the most cans per student, and winning the contest.  They will enjoy a pizza lunch followed by our annual Dodgeball Game against the WC Firemen.  The WC Fire Department took nearly 9 full barrels to the Food Pantry for delivery.  Our 9th graders and a few 3rd graders were able to serve at the pantry that day.
