Big hearts, full carts!


With compassion and community spirit leading the way, students at Memorial Park Elementary School came together to support the Waterville Food Pantry through a schoolwide food donation initiative. Students rallied together to bring in nonperishable items to help local families in need.

From canned goods to cereal boxes, every contribution was a testament to the generosity of the school community. Students sorted and packed the donations, filling boxes and hearts alike.

The donations were delivered to the Waterville Food Pantry, where they will be distributed to local families. The school hopes this initiative inspires continued acts of service and gratitude throughout the season.

Memorial Park Elementary School thanks Mr. Perrone for leading the food drive effort. His dedication and organizational efforts played a key role in the success of the food drive, which brought together students, staff and families to support local households in need.
