Beginning in the early 2000’s, there was a reality TV show called ‘Extreme Makeover - Home Edition’ where they would reveal the new and improved home by shouting ‘move that bus’ which was blocking the view of the home. GWCS has a tradition that tops that reality show and our slogan is ‘FILL THAT VAN’. Beginning in November and continuing through the winter holidays, GWCS students bring in food donations with the goal of filling the school van. On Monday, February 7th, 2022 the school van was filled with 484 pounds of food and delivered to Food for Others which is a local organization that distributes food to families who are struggling to make ends meet so they will not have to choose between spending money for food, or on other basic needs such as housing and healthcare. If you are looking for a way to contribute to your community, in addition to accepting food and financial donations — Food for Others offers many different volunteer opportunities and events: https://foodforothers.org/volunteer-individual/
Thank you to all of our Coyote families for their generous donations to our 2021-2022 food drive. Community Service is an integral expectation of all GWCS students and COVID-19 has made volunteering a little more challenging. This year’s food drive was certainly an opportunity for our little community to recognize that although the last few years have been a challenge, we do have food on our tables and we were so happy to provide food for others.
