The state of Maryland has a high school graduation requirement for students to learn how to practice citizenship. As part of their student service learning, all 6th graders, along with NJHS, are teaming up to sponsor a Fall Food Drive for Local Food Pantries These pantries will ensure that the food stays in St. Mary’s County. The food drive is from November 18-22, 2024. Students are asked to bring in nonperishable or boxed foods to help restock the pantry for a and help our local community for their student service learning project. Our sixth grade students have been learning about hunters and gatherers. One standard that they have spent much of this marking period working on is : Describe the characteristics and innovations of hunting and gathering societies, such as nomadic lifestyles, inventors of tools, adaptation to animal migration and vegetation cycles, and the shift from food gathering to food-producing activities.

The pantry will always take unused food that has not expired. They are in need of the following items:

Stuffing mix, tea bags, canned fruit, jello: pudding and mixes, Ramen noodles, boxed meals, small drink packets, instant mashed potatoes, rice, canned meat, taco shells and toiletries.

Students that bring in 3 or more items will have their name placed in a random drawing for a gift card.

• Leonardtown High School will host the All-County Middle and High School Honors Chorus concert on Thursday, 11/21 at 7:00 p.m.
