— The Dingman-Delaware Middle School Student Council reports that its annual can drive was "a gigantic success."
The students and staff donated 1,671 non-perishable food items to the Holy Trinity Food Pantry in Dingmans Ferry. Barbara Hupfer, food pantry director, said the pantry will be able to help more local families for Christmas, thanks to the donation.
The homerooms with the most donations won a bagel party and the “Super Can Man Trophy": Ms .Schneck’s grade 6 D7 homeroom with 255 cans; Mrs. Caldwell’s and Mrs. Kratz’s grade 7 G1 homeroom with 337 cans (the largest classroom donation), and Mr. Batista’s grade 8 G7 homeroom.
The following group of teachers and students did an amazing job by collecting 1272 food items, which made up 76 percent of the total donation: Mr. Batista, Mr. Hastie, Mrs. Caldwell/Mrs. Kratz, Ms. Schneck, Mr. Cooley and Mrs. Cafarella.
They all will win a bagel party!
The students of DDMS donated 399 more food items this year and that will feed even more people. They thank all the DDMS staff and students for participating and "being so generous. Great job DDMS and remember... together we can put an end to hunger."
