Plan of the Week
Well done Olpe 6th-12th grade students! We blew away our goal by donating 2,788 items to the Hartford Food Pantry which serves the families in the 252 school district! Our STUCO members delivered the items and presented them to Ruth & Jack Scoggin who founded the pantry and Pastor Gene Houston who manages the pantry. What a great way to kick off the holiday season, giving back to others! The best way to be civically engaged. Thanks to all who donated!
Last week our 5th graders received a nutrition lesson from the K-State Extension Office. This lesson focused on students reading nutrition fact labels, and examining fat and sugar in some of their favorite foods. An added treat that everyone got to try was hummus with pretzels.
