|
|
Recently, a team of students from Green Valley Elementary School participated in the 2019 Canstructure Competition, which is designed to help conquer food scarcity and hunger in Berks County. These students, who named their team “The Hunger Fighters,” were led by Shiloh Hills Elementary teacher Sue Wojciechowski. The students collected over 1,800 items for a combined total of 2,033 lbs of food. On Saturday, they took their collections to the Berkshire Mall, where they built their can structure for the competition. We are excited to announce that these students took first place in the elementary division. We are very proud of these creative, community-minded students!
