ST. GEORGE Grade 7 students at Fundy Middle and High School spent the month of October collecting donations of canned food and other non-perishable food items for the St. George and Area Food Bank. This is part of an initiative the school has been involved with for three years, the WE program. Being a WE school gives students a chance to give back, not only to their own community, but also to communities in other parts of the world. Student Rowan Borthwick said they did a “We Scare Hunger” program throughout October, and were able to collect more than 2,000 food items, for a total of 909 pounds. Last Wednesday, the top two classes delivered these items to the local food bank. The top collectors also had a chance to win a really fun prize. “Students worked hard over the month to collect over 2,000 items. For every item collected, students received a ticket for a chance to pie a teacher. Needless to say, a lot of pies were made,” laughed Borthwick.
