Dodge Elementary School student organizes food drive for Salvation Army
Usually, groups of students such as Student Councils organize food drives at schools.
But Dodge Elementary School fifth-grader Mariah Buettner has taken sole responsibility to organize a school food drive as a class project.
The food drive began this week and continues through Nov. 18, said Dodge Assistant Principal Tina Mason. Buettner will present the food to the Salvation Army in time for Thanksgiving.
Buettner has prepared notes to be sent home to parents, asked physical education teacher Ryan Hansen to promote the food drive in his classes, arranged for an incentive for the class that collects the most items, recorded a Connect-ED phone message that is transmitted to all Dodge families, and made posters to hang around the school. She is also collecting and tabulating the results when students arrive at school.
