The Thanksgiving Food Drive at Golden Avenue Public School was a huge success this year.

Mrs. Malley helped coordinate the activity this year, and the school was able to collect over 400 pounds of non-perishable food items.

Classes were challenged to build structures in their classrooms using the donations, and a pizza lunch was awarded to the classes with the best structure. 

A big thank you to parents, students and staff for supporting this initiative. Happy Thanksgiving from Golden Avenue Public School.
