Parmalee Elementary first-graders held its annual food drive to benefit EChO food bank in Evergreen.

Parmalee Elementary's first-grade students held their annual food drive to benefit one of the local food banks in Evergreen (EChO). After collecting 3,276 items, the first graders visited the food bank to help shelve and organize the food, stack firewood, and make cards to send out in EChO's Thanksgiving baskets. Each classroom that brought in at least 50 items received an extra recess. Every classroom succeeded!
