Kiski Area and Burrell High School Students Go To The Mat For Food BankNews, March 2012
Kiski and Burrell high school students recently teamed up and went to the mat to help pin hunger for area families in need at the annual Burrell-Kiski wrestling match. The event, held earlier this year at Kiski Area, featured not only one challenge between the schools, but also another contest. The two schools' wrestling teams--always powerhouses--faced each other in what is an exciting contest everytime. And students and principals from each school competed to see who could bring the most food to help Kiski Valley Food Bank. Together, they donated several hundred cans of food. What a blessing for KVFB!
Kiski Valley Food Bank volunteer Sarah McDermott stands next to some of the food that was collected. She pulled the food drive together.
Thank you, Kiski Area and Burrell High School students, for the cans of food and the donation. And a special thank you to principals at both schools who promoted the food drive and motivated their students.
