FCA cereal drive underway
Ms. Shimmel’s home room currently leads the high school with the most cereal boxes collected for the FCA’s cereal drive.
Blue Devil Nation, the student cheering section at Bellwood-Antis sports events, is planning to help with the drive at Thursday’s game, which is themed Hero Night. Students are encouraged to dress like a hero and bring a box of cereal to the game
Fellowship of Christian Athletes is sponsoring a cereal box drive during the month of January.
In homerooms, students bring in cereal boxes, which will then go to the St. Vincent DePaul food pantry that serves all of Blair County.
The cereal box drive is a district-wide event. The goal for the project is 2,000 cereal boxes, so that’s about a box and a half per student. The most ever raised in a single drive was 1,300.
“FCA got involved doing the cereal drive because in previous years Helping Hands used to do it, but when Mrs. O’Connor left, they needed someone to do it and I thought FCA would be a good group to run it,” said Mr. Lovrich, who advises FCA.
If the school district reaches the goal then the whole school will have an assembly with a guest speaker.
Blue Devil Nation, the student cheering section at Bellwood-Antis sports events, is planning to help with the drive at Thursday’s game, which is themed Hero Night. Students are encouraged to dress like a hero and bring a box of cereal to the game – a heroic act.
This will help people that don’t have enough money for food and doing this they will provide the a building block for the most important meal of the day, so bring in cereal boxes all of the month of January to help.
