NHS/FFA Sponsor Jr/Sr High Food Drive
NHS and FFA are hosting a friendly competition between all of the grades in Hoxie Jr/Sr High School - middle school through high school - from November 1st to the 16th. Each grade will be asked to bring food items from home to help out the Hoxie Food Pantry. There is a point system in place in order to help the food pantry in the best possible way. The food drive is to help the food pantry fulfill the Christmas food boxes. The Food Pantry puts together food boxes to help out needy families within the Sheridan County community. The boxes supply families with an entire meal(s) for the holiday. We will have drop-off boxes in the seminar classrooms. NHS and FFA students will collect the food items and count the points for the competition. The grade that has the most points will be rewarded with ice cream, games during seminar, and more. This is for a great cause and we hope everyone will get involved.
