SANBORNTON — Students and staff at Sanbornton Central School demonstrated their commitment to community service and gratitude last month through a food drive and a tribute to local veterans.
The annual Harvest Hustle, a tradition at SCS for over 20 years, encouraged students to collect non-perishable food items throughout October. The school community rallied together to collect over 700 pounds of food.
Students processed and transported the donations to the Sanbornton Library, where they were received by volunteers from the First Fruits Food Pantry, helping to support families in need within the community.
On Nov. 10, SCS students, families, and staff gathered to recognize the service and sacrifice of military veterans. They visited the NH Veterans’ Home and participated in a flag planting ceremony.
Through a donation from the SCS PTO, flags were planted in front of the building to honor and thank every veteran for their service.
Principal Jason Javalgi said, “This is a wonderful chance for our students to actively participate in showing gratitude and respect to those who have served our country. We are proud of our students for embracing these opportunities to give back to the community.”
