On Friday, September 19th, First Interstate Bank will be hosting a Food Truck and Food Drive event in support of SBHS & SWMS Scooper Closets and the Stagebarn Stallion Closet— vital school resources that provide food and essential items to students.

The event will take place from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on 2nd Street in front of Harley Square. It's a perfect opportunity for families, students, and community members to enjoy great food, give back, and support their local schools.

Cash donations are also welcomed and will go directly toward stocking the closets throughout the school year. Donations will be accepted throughout the month of September

Meade School District students have an exciting opportunity to get involved, make a difference, and build their future with FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America). FCCLA is a project-based organization where students work together on service and leadership activities. From selling Italian sodas to raise money for charitable causes, to creating Christmas cards for veterans, to organizing food drives, the group makes a real impact in the community.

The first meeting of the year will take place on Tuesday, September 24, at 7:40 a.m. in Mrs. Van Zee’s room (131). Students are encouraged to come, learn more, and find out how they can get involved.

Joining FCCLA isn’t just fun and rewarding—it’s also a great way to build leadership skills, serve the community, and strengthen college applications. A Google Classroom link is available for quick sign-up, making it easy for students to get started.

Don’t miss out on this chance to connect with peers, give back to the community, and grow as a leader.
