Port Matilda Elementary in the Bald Eagle Area School District.
They held a "Have A Heart Food Drive" from Feb. 1 to Feb. 24.
On Mar. 2, the students made a human chain and passed the food items from the front of the school, across the parking lot, and into the food pantry doors at the Port Matilda United Methodist Church. The church has been serving the Port Matilda community and outlying areas for about 35 years.
350 items were donated.
The students had a great time passing the food along and were very excited when the last item made it to the end of the line!
Mrs. Laurice Mitchell's Kindergarten collected 100 items, making them the top class and winning them the ice cream prize.
