G.I. Senior High School students conduct food drive
Grand Island Senior High School students collected approximately 700 food items in December to donate to needy families.
The school's Student Council organized the annual Holiday Canned Food Drive.
OASIS groups (similar to homerooms) that donated the most food items at each grade level will receive cookies in January.
Student Council members collected, counted, and sorted the food items on Dec. 22. They filled 40 totes with frozen turkeys, sacks of potatoes, and other side items so that 40 families could receive everything needed for a holiday feast. Two totes were delivered to students at every elementary school and middle school in the Grand Island Public Schools.
Student Council President Tad Kruger, senior Kayla Riha, and senior Brandi Falkena led the project. Student Council faculty advisers are Mary Homan and Danielle Buhrman.
OASIS group winners, listed by teacher's name, for the most food items donated were: freshmen, teacher Marci Veach's class, 30 items; sophomores, teacher Christine Fisher's class, 70 items; juniors, teacher Kurt Frohling's class, 23 items; and seniors, teacher Karen Kropp's class, 81 items.
