Croton-Harmon Students Rally in Elementary 'Souper' Bowl
The Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School community donated more than 600 cans of food
Students at Croton-on-Hudson’s Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School showed their school and favorite sports team spirit by surpassing a schoolwide goal to collect 600 cans of food for the Croton-Cortlant Food Pantry.
The annual weeklong Souper Bowl coincided with Super Bowl 50 and encouraged students to use their enthusiasm for the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers to make a difference in the local community.
“Our goal was 600 cans to represent our 600 students,” said CET Assistant Principal Kerri Bianchi. “We exceeded our goal and collected approximately 620 cans.”
