Boyce Middle School recently collected more than 600 pounds of food to benefit families served by the South Hills Interfaith Movement.
Organized by the Upper St. Clair schoolâs Student Council, the community service project was led by sixth-graders Raegan Faulds and Caty Howard, along with fifth-graders Abby Burke and Jillian Casey.
Cerail is a popular item for the South Hills Interfaith Movement s food pantries.
Throughout a two-week period, each middle school student was asked to donate a cereal and a secondary item. The cereal drive is an annual event at Boyce.
âWe started it several years ago and reached out to local shelters,â said Justin Gremba, sixth-grade math teacher and Student Council sponsor. âCereal is a high-demand item, so we centered our drive around that.â
