Letter: Youngsters excel in ‘Soup’er Bowl’ drive


On behalf of Alexandria Monroe Elementary’s Student Council I would like to thank all of our students and staff for their donations toward our “Soup’er Bowl” canned food drive.

We had set a goal of 1,000 food items to donate to our local food pantry, the ERF. Within two weeks our kids came through with a grand total of 4,328 food items. This has been an annual community project since I have been Student Council sponsor for over 20 years. The total this year is the largest we have ever collected.

Our school consists of preschool through second grade; our youngest kids showed us what they can do. Thanks to all the parents, grandparents and staff for their support.
