Student board member Matthew told the board the student governments across six schools will run a food and clothing drive called "Stuff the Bus" Nov. 17-21, with collections at each school and district office and student-led delivery to the Community Center of Northern Westchester.
At the board meeting, student board member Matthew reported that student governments across the district will run a districtwide drive called "Stuff the Bus." He said collection bins will be placed at each of the six schools and at the district office during the week of Monday, Nov. 17 through Friday, Nov. 21, and student representatives with district staff will collect and deliver donations to the Community Center of Northern Westchester.
"We're gonna do a food and clothing drive," Matthew said, noting items in high need include hats, blankets, coats, pasta, rice and beans. He said the drive is student-led and that volunteers from student government will coordinate pickup and delivery with Dr. Ackerman.
The board responded positively and asked follow-up questions about logistics and whether this is the first districtwide event of its kind. Matthew and board members confirmed this is the first time the district has organized a unified, K–12 student-government community service drive and thanked the students and administrators for leading it.
