Community Spotlight
Often it is the youth that set the best examples and the students at Discovery Elementary prove this point. The students recently held a food drive for the Ashley Valley Food Pantry and over 4000 food items were collected. The 2nd graders were the winners with the most donations although all the grades did a great job. The school’s Kindness Ambassadors accomplished the hard task of gathering all the food and loading it into vehicles to make the delivery. Well done to all that participated!
