Classrooms Nationwide Seek Record Amount of Food And Clothing Collected in Thanksgiving Drive
How much can your class collect?
“The Drive” is Nov. 7-21. K-12 classroom teams are invited to score “points” for items collected and delivered to the community agencies they’ve chosen – with a goal of students thoughtfully collecting and distributing more than $1 million worth of donated goods.
It’s the first event of a new effort called The LEAGUE (National 4-H Council President and CEO Don Floyd serves on its National Commission), with events linked to state coded and grade specific curriculum. There are so many great programs and efforts already that don’t get as much recognition as they deserve and also more students to involve in helping others. The LEAGUE offers 1,200 free Learning to Give curriculum lessons and links. To participate in “The Drive”– it’s free and simple, visit www.theleague.org.
