Can we do it? Yes, we can!

With a goal to collect 200 cans for the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, middle school students at Tallulah Falls School more than doubled that target with a total of 466 cans. 

Sixth-grader Megan Prince of Rabun Gap spearheaded the drive with representatives from each middle school house engaged in coordinating the month-long effort. 

Along with Prince, house representatives Avery Keim of Clarkesville, Caylin Tucker of Demorest and Olivia Henderson of Clarkesville were on hand when David Smith from the FBNG picked up the weighty contribution on December 15. Owl house representative Laurel Blake Kafsky couldn’t be there for the pick-up, so Henderson stepped up. 

Prince was delighted with the response from the TFS learning community. 

“I got involved with the food drive project because I thought of all the people who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and those who do not have enough money to put food on the table,” Prince said. “These people should not have to go hungry over the holidays, so I came up with the idea of a canned food drive! Without the help of Caylin, Avery, and LB, it would have been tough to complete this project.”
