Canned Food Drama

The annual canned food drive at school ended yesterday.

I told my third period class I wouldn't give them homework over the break if we won-

We didn't win.

I am not giving them homework.

I do think it is absolutely hillarious that the teacher who won got so competitive, that she went to the store yesterday at lunch, after she heard she was losing to us, and bought enough cans to beat my class. As we speak, my students are declaring the injustices of how the crown was stolen from them by a last second trip to the store. Oh, the joys of junior high.

It probably would have been cheaper to just buy your class pizza, then to buy all the cans. My students contributed 279 cans to the cause. The winning class 311.

Oh well- it all goes to the Food Bank and helps feed hungry families during the Holiday Season.

Can't we all just be happy and feel good that we helped the needy this time of year?

The joy of junior high drama and the canned food drive.
