Mr. Aisenbrey, Mr. Sittig, and Mr. Gunderson:

In our English III class we are doing independent projects where we take every Tuesday of class just to focus time towards our project. We decided for our project that we could do something for the people that just don’t get as much: a food drive. What we plan on doing is raising as much money and donated food as we can accomplish.

We are planning on all ages, anyone that may be interested in helping people that don't get as much. We plan to do plenty of activities with everyone K-12, including parents. In 2010, 48.8 million Americans lived in food-insecure households: 32.6 million adults and 16.2 million children.

Some of the activities that we are planning to do to raise food and money are around the time before Christmas because December is the month of “giving”. We want to give the food bank for the people who may not get enough, we plan to put fliers and posters up around the school to show when it will start and end. It will also be in the announcements and notes will go home with K-12. We are wanting everyone to get involved. We are trying to pass it through the school that if you bring 2 canned goods (or anything for the food bank that is needed) to a certain basketball game, you have to only pay 2 dollars.

Another thing we can do is use coupons. For the High School and Middle School students want to eat or drink something (unless they are participating in a computer class), they have to bring 3 canned goods or anything that is needed for the food drive as well.

We are hoping that everyone is willing to give because this is for a good cause. It’s not just for us; it’s for the needy of our community. Thank you for your time.


Sincerely,

Casey Warkenthein and Hunter Roberts


So far we have achieved what we have been trying to get done. Getting everything set up. Passing everything that we want to be done during this giving time through teachers that we needed to pass it through.
