A huge shout-out to Mrs. Deal and the Battle of the Books team at HAES for their incredible efforts in organizing our canned food drive! Thanks to the support of our entire school community, we collected over 1,600 canned goods! This amazing collection will help support 17 families right here in our community, with the remaining donations headed to Western NC to make an even bigger impact. A special congratulations to Mrs. Jackson’s 4th-grade class, who collected the most cans and earned a well-deserved pizza party! Thank you to everyone who contributed. Together, we’re making a difference! #HAES #PantherPride #CommunitySupport #BattleOfTheBooks
