Throughout the month of February, Northbridge Elementary School will be hosting a "Red Food Drive" to benefit the Northbridge Food Pantry.


Students in kindergarten will collect non-perishable foods, count, place items into groups of 10 and graph total amounts collected in each classroom. The goal is to try to collect 100 items in each classroom.

In addition to teaching various math skills, the activity ties into the Random Acts of Kindness teaching theme. 

The Northbridge Elementary School staff thanks all participating families for their support.
