Country School Students Support Local Food Bank

From New Canaan Country School:

NEW CANAAN, CT - New Canaan Country School students in grades 1 through 9 recently collected 2,240 pounds of canned and dry food in support of The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County, which provides nutritious food to non-profit organizations serving under-resourced communities. The effort, which culminated over the past two weeks, is part of the school’s annual commitment to respond to needs identified by our community partners. “Providing hands-on activities such as this provides a unique opportunity to teach personal and social responsibility, as well as to inspire students to make a positive contribution to the world” said Country School’s Director of Community Development Lynn Sullivan.
