Students at the Charter School of Morgan Hill celebrated Valentine’s Day in a unique way Feb. 14 as they successfully collected enough cans to go around a 1/8-mile track for a schoolwide “We LOVE our community” canned food drive.
The canned food will be given to Second Harvest Food Bank for distribution to those in need.
Students used critical thinking skills to calculate how many cans it would take to go around the 1/8-mile track, and then demonstrated personal and social responsibility with their donations, according to CSMH staff. They also were given the challenge of collecting enough canned food donations to do so.
“I am happy to report that our CSMH community was able to demonstrate how much we care about our larger community by meeting the challenge of donating enough cans to go around our 1/8-mile track,” said Diana Gill, CSMH Community Liaison and Outreach Coordinator.
