Food Drive at Barr Elementary School

Sheffield Lake Community Civic Council collected canned and dry food goods for the residents of Sheffield/Sheffield Lake who are in need of food this Holiday Season. Students at Barr School brought in 422 cans/boxes! PTO Vice President Barb Parker had promised that the classroom that turned in the most would win a pizza party. That classroom turned out to be Mr. Kinser's class with 124 cans/boxes turned in! Therefore they won the pizza party. The students decided though that in the spirit of Christmas they would forfeit their pizza party and chose instead to donate that money to the Civic Center! PTO is matching their donation too! One hundred dollars will be donated to help the needy.
