Students helped local families in need with a food drive prior to Thanksgiving.  The school's homerooms collected food in the two weeks prior to Thanksgiving and gathered up the items on the final class day before the annual holiday.  Students filled up a flatbed trailer with cases of non-perishable food items to successfully conclude the food drive that was sponsored by the Academy's National Honor Society.  The food was given to the local St. Vincent de Paul Society for distribution to needy individuals on the West Bank.
