Last Thursday, the 3rd graders worked so hard at Feed My Starving Children last! All of the hard work put into packing food enabled us to pack 77 boxes which amounts to 38,808 meals which will feed 106 kids a daily meal for an entire year. Additionally, the generous cash donation from Hooper families amounted to $175 which will result in 603 meals and will feed an additional child for 18 months! Thank you to all the parent volunteers who joined us! We couldn’t have made the trip without you! It was a FUN day of helping others!
