‘Tis the season to be giving!

BY MEGAN KEMP

WDHS National Honor Society had their annual food drive from Nov. 12 to Nov. 16. Students were encouraged to bring in a total of 5,000 pounds of canned goods, toiletries, boxed items, bottled water, and money to donate to the local food pantries. In hopes of attracting more donators, NHS held a contest for the Bobcat Groups. The winning Bobcat Group would be the one who contributed the highest amount of pounds to the food drive. The prize given at the end of the week consisted of free doughnuts and juice for the students of the winning Bobcat Group. Congratulations to Mr. Lansing’s Bobcat Group, the winning class, with a whooping average of 45 pounds per person!  The National Honor Society not only reached their goal, but they surpassed it by 3,650 pounds!  Great job on donating 8,650 pounds, Western Dubuque!
