Aycock Middle PTSA Students Give Back Through Food Pantry, Coat Drive
The student members of Aycock Middle’s PTSA club helped make a difference in their school community this fall. The students wrote a grant, funded by the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro’s Teen Grant Council, to establish a food pantry that would provide snacks and food to Aycock families in need on the weekends, during the summer and for holidays.
Students shopped for families to have complete meals at Thanksgiving and Christmas, using and building their math and budgeted skills. Students also held a coat drive and collected more than 50 coats for students in need.
Holiday Reading Incentive Program
Once again, we would like to encourage students to continue reading during the winter break. Attached is the log students can use to keep track of their minutes – 20 minutes a day for at least 15 days during winter break, December 20, 2014 – January 5, 2015.
