Recently the lone fourth
and fifth grades held a coin
drive, raising $660.56 to
support the lone BackPack
Program. The BackPack
Program helps local chil
dren who need food. Every
week, a backpack is loaded
with food, such as soup,
applesauce, macaroni and
cheese, and peanut but
ter, and sent home with
the students in need. They
can then return the back
pack on Monday and have
it restocked for the next
weekend.
