Mr. Chamberlain says, “Thanksgiving in a Box takes donations from students to help kids have a good Thanksgiving." Where does the box go to? “Each box goes to families we donate to.” It will go to middle school families. What should we put in the box? “Thanksgiving related foods” In each homeroom there is a list of certain items. It will tell you what you need and how much of it is needed. Why do we do Thanksgiving in a box? “Thanksgiving is time to share a nice meal with family” By doing this box and donating it gives those families that food to share together. How long have people been donating? “I have been doing it for now three years. But is has been going on for much longer” To sum it all up, we should donate to Thanksgiving in a box if we can. For further information talk to your homeroom teacher. Isaya Kibbie has completed the Kane Area Middle School Genre Challenge.
