Buckeye South helps the hungry
Buckeye South Elementary School’s annual Share the Holidays food drive was held recently, with nonperishable items collected for St. Vincent Helping Hands — St. Joseph and St. Lucy Catholic churches. Each pupil could donate two to three items to the pantry, including canned and boxed food, toiletries and paper products. Items were taken from late November through mid-December to assist residents and families within the school district. Jane Kleineke, a teacher and one of the committee members, said the abundance of goods donated showed pupil participation was well beyond expectations. With a few of the contributions are third-graders Alexis Slie and Treyton Heitz.
