TRUSSVILLE – Magnolia Elementary’s Student Leadership Team organized a food drive for T.E.A.M., Trussville’s local food bank, as their random act of kindness for the month of February. Students decided to contact T.E.A.M. to see what items were most needed.
Ann Forde, a representative from T.E.A.M., let them know they needed breakfast items, peanut butter, jelly, spaghetti sauce, pasta, and dry cooking ingredients the most. Each grade level was encouraged to bring in an assigned item from the list provided by T.E.A.M.
In less than a week, Magnolia students donated over 300 items to show kindness and help others in need.
“We really talked about making sure the families who visit T.E.A.M. have yummy food to eat just like we would like to see when we open our pantries at home,” Mrs. Blake, school counselor and Student Leadership Team sponsor, said. “We love how our students worked together to meet a specific need in our community.”
