L International Club members John Gorman and Lucas Shupe hoist a box of food to the parking lot The food was sorted in room 206 and carried by members to waiting cars After a successful food drive. Tracee Jones and Ashlea Harpold discuss plans for a club Christmas party. The at-school party Included secret pals and plenty of refreshments. Jusf canning around Food is an essential need for everyone, espe- cially for the less fortu- nate. The International Club, made up of French and Spanish students, de- cided to reach out and help the needy. To help, the club held a canned food drive during November. All students were invited to bring all types of dry and canned goods. Everybody brought food from home to make it better, Stacie Russell said. Indeed, some mem- bers even brought wrapped Christmas presents and stockings for the children. Families were found by Spanish teacher Ginny Johnson, who was also one of the club sponsors, by inquiring through a lo- cal elementary school. Delivery of the food was scheduled just before the Thanksgiving holiday. When we got there, the families became very emotional. Some even cried with happiness, Johnson said. This was a neat experience for all of us. Students not only brought plenty of food, but more than twenty club members and parents showed up to distribute everything. Food was separated equally into boxes and sacks, giving each of the three families enough for a complete holiday meal. Traveling in caravan style, the group stopped at the families ' homes. Helping all of the fami- lies made me feel happy inside, Brenda Ellis said. I felt that what we did made a difference in many of the families ' lives. f£wka international club jmmfmmmmm ii) c
