During the month of November, Edon Student Council sponsored its annual Canned Food Drive to benefit the Edon Area Ministerial Association Food Pantry. Throughout the November 10-21 event, students in Grades KK-12 engaged in a friendly competition to see which class could gather the most items before Thanksgiving Break. Organizers were pleased to announce Miss Denyse Johnson and Mrs. Deb Gensler’s third-graders had garnered this year’s honors with a classroom donation of four hundred sixty-seven canned goods ~ nearly one-fourth of the two thousand four items collected by Edon Northwest Local Schools!
