CAMANCHE ELEMENTARY: ENDGAME OF HUNGER

            With great power, comes great responsibility. CES has the power to help fight hunger! Lots of class Avengers are saving the galaxy! Mrs. Low’s 4^th grade class is closest to the Thanos and Ms. Mink’s 1^st grade class is on their tail in 2^nd place. Mrs. Hiher’s 3^rd grade class won the first week so they enjoyed an extra recess. Remember, you have until the 15^th to bring in your non-perishable food items and/or donations of money. The class that ends up in 1^st place wins an extra recess, a special hero treat, and the Food Drive Traveling Trophy! If he be worthy, he shall possess the power to feed the hungry.

Like Dr. Suess said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”
