Helping out, one can at a time.

By: Miya Gagne
West High School hosts many different events throughout each school year. Between pep rallies and the infamous prom, West High covers it all. Each year we host the canned food drive. This year the canned food drive will be going on from November 2nd through the 23rd. Last year it was a huge success donating 529 canned food items and $900 to the New Horizons Food Pantry. The food will be donated the day before Thanksgiving Wednesday, November 25. Helping others in need by donating food has strengthened our community.
 Students at West enjoy participating in the canned food drive and are preparing for an upcoming one. Students can donate cans in their period B class. During the time of the food drive, students can find out information about helping the cause by listening and watching West View. There will be current information updated regularly. Another way to access information would be to look for the posters that will be hung up all around the building. 
Every year West High strives to beat the number of cans donated the previous year. Our goal keeps increasing because each year we manage to contribute more and more cans. Do you think we can beat last years goal? We would hope your answer would be yes. We can by helping out, one can at a time.
