Fourth Grade Neighborhood House Food Drive Update
The fourth-grade students are proud to share that the food drive they organized for Neighborhood House resulted in 1,445 pounds of food! This year’s total showed an increase of over 245 pounds from last year’s drive. Thank you for your generosity, as many Twin Cities families will appreciate our efforts!
