Montco Elementary School Donates 3800 Pounds Of Food

ABINGTON, PA — Local elementary students are making a huge impact in the community.

Children, students, and parents at McKinley Elementary School and Copper Beech Elementary School organized monthly food drives throughout the spring, competing with each other to see who could donate more.

Here's what Abington School District had to say about the competition:

"The Inter-Faith Food Cupboard weighed all the collected donations at the end, and combined, the two buildings collected 3,797 pounds of food, with McKinley Elementary School donating the most at 1,929 pounds! The announcement of who was the “losing” school–with still an impressive 1,869 pounds donated–was withheld until the day of the ice bucket challenge, when Ms. Rogers ultimately had the ice bucket dumped on her head on the steps of the Administration Building. The video of the ice bucket challenge was played at both schools the following day to unveil the winner to the students."

Donations were given to the Inter-Faith Food Cupboard, 1250 Easton Road in Roslyn. Learn more about their mission online here.
