The spirit of kindness and generosity is alive and well at Thornton Elementary School, where students have been working hard to make a difference in their community. The 5th Grade Student Council and the Kindness Crew have taken the lead in organizing a school-wide food drive to support the Thornton Food Pantry, and their efforts have already yielded impressive results.
With a heartfelt message of compassion, the young organizers created colorful posters featuring phrases like "Please donate," "Give back," "Spread kindness," "Help others," and "Generosity" to encourage their classmates and teachers to contribute. The food drive kicked off on January 13 and will continue through February 14, giving the entire school a chance to participate in this meaningful cause.
So far, the students, staff, and families of Thornton Elementary have come together to donate over 200 food items, a testament to their commitment to helping those in need. The donations will directly benefit the Thornton Food Pantry, ensuring that local families facing food insecurity receive the support they need.
With a few weeks left to go, organizers encourage everyone to keep the momentum going. Every item collected helps make a positive impact, and students are eager to see just how much they can achieve together.
