Here is more information on the drive for HS students:
What - A canned food drive put on by NHS for the benefit of the Las Animas community.
When - May 1st & 15th (Collection Days)
Reward - For every 5 can goods or preserved food items that a student brings they will be awarded an absence forgiveness. There will be a limit of 5 absence forgiveness per student (25 food items), students are welcome to bring more but will not receive a reward.
Specifics - If a can is 8oz or less it will count as ½ of a food item - If a can is 9-15oz it will count as 1 food item - If a can is 16 oz or larger it will count as 1 ½ food items.
Day Of - We will collect donations at lunch and use either a notebook or Google Sheet to track donations to ensure the honesty of the system. Students will then have to hold onto their tickets until the turn in date to use for their finals exemptions
