Thanks to the dedicated efforts of Brooklyn High School students, district families in need of additional assistance now have access to essential food items through the Hurricane Family Resource Center Community Food Pantry. 

Students in the classrooms of Brenda Campbell and Kelly Marsico have played an integral role in organizing and shelving donated items, filling orders from an online form, labeling and sorting bags by last name, and delivering orders to vehicles on scheduled pick-up dates. Since being launched in October 2024, the food pantry assists thirty to forty district families each month. 

This new district initiative was made possible through a Martha Holden Jennings Foundation grant in the amount of $15,000 which was submitted by Superintendent Dr. Caleris, Director of Pupil Services, Paula Jones, and Intervention Specialists Suzy Marquis and Kelly Marsico. 

Congratulations to all participating students for their hard work and service on behalf of the school community! Students are learning valuable life and career skills by helping to manage the district's community food pantry.
