JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP — The Student Council at Jefferson Township Intermediate School (JTIS) recently organized a cereal food drive to help restock the New Hope Food Pantry, combining community service with creativity and student engagement.
As part of the effort, sixth-grade GATEways students, along with several fourth-grade Student Council members, constructed a cereal box domino reaction that served as a fun and memorable highlight of the drive. The chain reaction was officially kicked off by Trixie, drawing excitement from students and staff alike.
In addition to planning the drive, sixth-grade Student Council members played a hands-on role by assisting with loading and transporting all of the donated cereal to the food pantry.
On behalf of the New Hope Food Pantry, organizers expressed sincere gratitude for the generosity and continued support shown by the JTIS community and its schools, noting that student-led initiatives like this make a meaningful difference for local families in need.
