In November, we were able to collect over 2,000 food items for our community food bank.
The food bank sent a box truck to collect all the food that was donated. Quoted from the
thank you letter we received, "The generosity by the students will help many children
have enough food so they will not have to go to bed hungry."
Our December Penny Drive raised more than $700.00 to support our local food bank;
the money will be used to help families purchase food, pay for heat, and to purchase
items for families in need in our community.
On December 21st Nichols sponsored a green and white day to show our support for the
students, families, and community of Newtown, Connecticut. Students were able to donate
a dollar towards the Newtown Scholarship Fund. In this one day event our NMS raised
over $250.00.
Great job, NMS!
