H.O.P.E.

40+ students and staff went shopping on Friday afternoon to provide Christmas gifts for 22 local children sponsored by H.O.P.E., a community service organization in the Northeast Kingdom.  In addition, many bought food for their Backpack Program that sends students home with a backpack full of food for the weekend.  I only had time to get the one shot below of some female student athletes looking for superhero stickers, but more photos to come as we wrap and deliver the donations.  I did see a couple of students leaving the store with a cart load of groceries for HOPE worth $250!  HOPE indicates that the Backpack Program is their largest expense.  Thanks to all families for the support!
