T.J. canvasses his neighborhood a week before picking up food donations. He added nearby developments this year, and collected 757 items, topping his total of 483 last year. "Imagine if a lot of kids did this," said T.J.'s father Tom. The collection is part of T.J.'s completion project for graduation. He will also write a paper about his project.

Dallas Elementary School is holding their annual Penny Wars. “Each grade collects pen- nies in empty water cooler bottles. The class that brings in the most pennies by weight will earn a pop- corn party with our principal, Sam Barbose,” said Tom Duffy. He and Debbie Mannahan, both fifth grade teachers, bring the pennies into a local bank and the money will go to needy families in the Dallas School District. “We really have a lot of interest in it this year. One first grade student, Lindsey Jayne, who only weighs 51 pounds, brought in 67 pounds of pennies. That is about the average amount for a whole classroom,” said Duffy. Gate of Heaven School does things a little differently. “Each child is asked to bring in one canned good or nonperishable item and a $2 contribution. Then, each of the families that we are helping receives a variety of items and a gift certificate to a local grocery store,” explained Fran Tanner. “The students and their families were very generous this CooKing up a little American history Students in third grade classes at the Wyoming Seminary Lower School shared an early Thanksgiving feast with their parents and classmates last week.
