Food Fight!

When you hear those words in the cafeteria, you better get ready to duck under the table or get slimed!  But the food fight we're talking about is part of the Success By 6 Food Drive Challenge!

The Food Fight is the competition for the participating middle schools and high schools for the Success by 6 Food Drive Challenge. The winners are determined by dividing the number of items per student. So big schools or small schools- you all have a shot at winning! And the prize is cash for your school- $500 for the winning middle school and $1,000 for the winning high school.

Participating High Schools so far include: East Valley, North Central, and Lewis & Clark; Middle Schools who have accepted the challenge include Garry, Chase, Shaw, and Glover.
