What if everyone who planned to watch the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 gave just one can of soup to a local food charity?
That was the question fourth grade teachers at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School asked to kickstart their annual “Soup”er Bowl Celebration. Students, families and staff members have been generous in their giving to tackle hunger in the local community. The school has collected more than 200 cans of food items.
Teacher Deborah Vieira asked her students why they were collecting food items during this time of year and the replies were heartwarming. Helping those in the community who need care was the No. 1 answer. It is just one more way that JAE students continue to learn beliefs and behaviors that are important for them to have as responsible citizens.
The nonperishable food items will be donated to the food pantry at Long Island Lending a Helping Hand.
Thank you to our JAE school community and fourth grade classes for putting the super in “Soup”er Bowl!
