Food is donated through the St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church across the street from our school. Each fall, students, teachers and parents participate in the statewide Beach/River Sweep. A garden located on school grounds is maintained by staff and students and vegetables grown in the garden are donated to local homeless shelters and soup kitchens. The School Improvement Council works with local businesses to provide Job Shadowing opportunities for our students.
