South End First Graders Give Thanks by Giving Back

School-wide food drive organized by students benefits Human Needs Food Pantry.

The first Grade classes of South End Elementary School in Cedar Grove organized and ran a school-wide food drive for Thanksgiving. Each grade level donated various items, and the families at South End School were extremely generous.  The students collected more than 40 bags of food, which were donated to the Human Needs Food Pantry of Montclair.
