At Brookhaven Elementary School in Eagle Mountain, Utah, students are actively participating in a food drive to support the local food pantry, Tabitha's Way. With a target of 10,000 pounds of food and supplies, the school has already collected over 8,000 pounds. School Counselor Lucas Stewart highlighted the enthusiasm of the students, who have been bringing in donations since the initiative began. This year, instead of their usual spring fundraiser, the school opted for a food drive, allowing students to engage with their community and understand the importance of helping those in need. The student council has even created a thermometer to visually track their progress towards the goal. Scarlett Anderson, a sixth grader, shared her contributions, including ranch dressing, Spaghetti-Os, toilet paper, and diapers. The students are excited about reaching their goal and are motivated by the promise of a fun surprise once they do.
