Stuff The Bus = Great Success!

This past Friday and Saturday, Central Cambria Middle School teachers and students from CCMS Student Council organized a Stuff the Bus event at Ebensburg Wal-Mart.  The purpose of the event was to collect food donations for the Special Deliveries project that will be kicking off in the fall.  This project will provide a backpack of food to any student who needs one each Friday during the school year.  Students will return their empty backpacks on Monday to be refilled the following Friday.  The goal is for all of our students to have food to eat seven days per week throughout the year.

First Student, the district's transportation contractor, provided a bus and volunteers for the event.  To say this was a great success would be an understatement.  Thanks to the generous support from the community, we raised over $1,000 and filled many bins with various food items.  Thank you to our teachers, student council members, First Student, Ebensburg Wal-Mart, and the community for making this event a great success!  Here are some pictures from the event:
