Voorheesville MS donates items to Kiwanis food pantry

(Nov. 22, 2011) Voorheesville Middle Schools food drive, sponsored by the Builders Club, was a huge success! Over 1,000 items were donated for the Kiwanis food pantry.

So who was the staff member who had to wear the turkey costume? The honor went to Principal Mr. Franchini after students collected the most items in his name.

According to Lisa Spadinger, the Builders Club advisor, it was a neck and neck race between Mr. Franchini and Mr. Chaize. "Ultimately Mr. Franchini won because of a huge donation to his box five minutes before we were ready to do an over all count."

"The drive was a smashing success for middle school and the participation of the students and faculty is greatly appreciated by both the Builders Club and the people who access the pantry," Ms. Spadinger. "We filled the entire back of a Kiwanis members truck!"
