Once again, in an outpouring of generosity, the students and staff of SJCHS have responded to a call for canned goods and non-perishable food items for the local food bank. Ending Friday, the food drive resulted in a heap of the stuff piled up pretty deeply in the Town Square, where it rested briefly before being gathered in preparation for delivery to the folks who need it the most.Lauren Schmidt and Katie Troutman took the student lead for this year's effort, and spent the final day photographing the final entries from each home room. The contest this year wasn't so much a quest for a prize, but rather a quest for bragging rights as owners of the most creatively-designed mountain of food, as judged of course by an august panel of students chosen at random as they made their way through the halls.
There were cartoon characters, faith-based presentations, some in French, and one featuring the Eiffel Tower. Pretty impressive stuff, and all running in conjunction with the school's Spirit Week, proving that substantial things can be accomplished when the spirits of happiness and generosity reside in the same heart at the same time
