2 more participants for 100 Days of School Food-Drive Challenge!

Last night, we got word that classes at Schmitz Park Elementary would join the 100 Days of School Food-Drive Challenge launched by Arbor Heights Elementary‘s Room 16, with Alki Elementary and Cometa Playschool on board too. The goal is to collect at least 100 nonperishable food items for the West Seattle Food Bank by the 100th day of school – February 20th.

Tonight, two more schools: First we heard from Gatewood Elementary parent Jennifer Dempsey, sharing this news:

Donna Schwendeman’s first grade class at Gatewood Elementary would like to join Ms. Ingerslev’s class in their 100th day food-drive challenge. Ms. Schwendeman, the students, and parents are looking forward to making a great contribution to our local food bank.

And then via the West Seattle STEM Elementary Facebook page, we learned that their school is accepting the challenge and joining too – which means at least six schools so far. Details on the STEM collection plans are here. (And as they point out, even if you’re not involved with a school, you can help the WS Food Bank any time – see how at westseattlefoodbank.org.)

    Mrs. Crockett and Mrs. Clarke’s kindergarten classes at Holy Rosary School celebrated their 100th day of school today, 2/12. They collected a little over 200 cans of food which will be delivered to the White Center Food Bank this week. Thanks for this great idea from our neighboring schools. This will definitely become part of our 100th day tradition!
