Congratulations are in order! Gary D. Wright Elementary School has earned the D300 Food Pantry's highest annual honor - 2019 HUNGER CHAMPIONS. This distinction is awarded to the D300 K-8 school and high school that donates the most weight in food and non-food items during the calendar year. Our school's donation of 4,452 pounds in 2019 was an outstanding show of support towards the D300 Food Pantry's mission to "Keep The Kids Fed". The D300 Food Pantry could not function to assist families without the support of school communities like ours. To commemorate this recognition achieved by Gary D. Wright Elementary School, on behalf of our school, I had the honor of being presented with a trophy at the D300 Food Pantry's annual board meting. The trophy will be proudly displayed in the glass cabinet in our school's lobby. This is truly such exciting news. I am so proud of our Gary D. Wright Elementary School learning community for our incredible support of the D300 Food Pantry. Thank you to our Wildcat students, staff, families, and community members for your generosity. Way to go, Wildcats! May we continue to support this amazing organization for years to come! In honor of Super Bowl Sunday and our Hunger Champion trophy, let's continue to show our support throughout the next week with GDW's very own Souper Bowl Challenge. Throughout the week of February 3-7, GDW students and staff are encouraged to bring in a can of soup (or other canned good). Donations will benefit the D300 Food Pantry.
