Hoosick Falls Elementary School was awarded $200 by the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York for supporting the Backpack Program.
Elementary students who received backpacks last year were asked to complete a survey by drawing their answers. The Food Bank asked the children to 'tell a story' about the backpack program through an 'art testimonial'.
Students were asked to draw a picture or write answers to questions such as:
'My favorite food in the Backpack is ____________________________ and looks like ...'
'My drawing of my Backpack Superhero looks like ...'
'The person who gives me my food is ...'
The Food Bank recognized the elementary students at Hoosick Falls by donating $200 into the Backpack account for next years program. We are very proud of our students for their work.
We are also thankful to the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York for their dedication to helping children in a time of need. If interested in supporting the Food Bank click on the link below:
