Students in Builders Club Construct a Food Drive


Students are collecting food from the requested donations list each morning from now through November 22.

If you have not heard, Builders Club is a student volunteer organization that began at the Dayton Regional STEM School this year. Builders Club is a middle school version of Kiwanas International.  
Middle school students who are in the club meet every Monday after school to work on different volunteer projects, like Care Kits and Project Linus. The students also have a High School program named Key Club.  

Recently, the students have been working on a food drive. The food drive is going on now and will end November 22nd.  Students who are part of the Builder Club will come before and after school to help run it.  

To promote the drive, students offer a raffle ticket for every 10 items brought in by students, which they can then enter for a chance to win a pizza party for themselves and five of their friends. The winning grade level will get to watch a movie during lunch. The winning advisory will also get a reward.  

All products will go to St. Vincent de Paul to help children and adults in need. Students can bring in canned foods as well as other food products (packaged). They can also bring in paper plates, bowls, cups, and other similar products. Find a complete list of donation needs here. People need our help, so please donate today!
