As a parent with a daughter in Ms. Chaffee’s leadership class at Everett High School, I am so proud of these hard-working students. During the holiday food drive, the students were able to collect enough food for 150 Snohomish County families to have a complete Thanksgiving dinner. They delivered the meals to the families at the start of the holiday week. They also collected 600 additional boxes of food, and $14,878 to donate to the local food bank.
They may never know the impact they had on families who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to enjoy a holiday meal, but I hope they all know that in one way or another, they have touched a lot of people’s lives this holiday season. And thank you also to all the shoppers who were kind enough to purchase an extra grocery item to put in the food drive cart.
I’m sure I speak for a lot of students parents. We are so proud of their hard work, and compassion for helping others.
