"Indians For the Cupboard"
At the last NWKL meeting, the Administrators and Athletic Directors in attendance were challenged to have a competition among the schools in the league to benefit their local food pantry. Beginning December 3, the St. Francis schools began collecting items to donate to the food pantry. On Friday evening, December 14, those who brought two canned food donations received $1 off their admission to the game. Others made a financial contribution. The competition ended on Monday, December 17. On Tuesday, December 18, SFCHS students will take the items to the local food pantry.
The competition was scored as follows - 5 points: canned meats, regular sized cereal boxes, Velveeta cheese blocks, jams, jellies, peanut butter, canned meals (ravioli/chili), toilet paper. 3 points: canned vegetables and canned fruits, canned soups, hamburger/chicken/tuna helper, pasta, hygiene items (soap, toothpaste, q-tips, shampoo, etc), dried fruit, parmesan cheese. 1 point: ramen noodles, fruit cups, jello cups, pudding cups.
