Leavitt High School students raising donations, walking to combat hunger

TURNER — Leavitt Area High School will participate in the Hornets vs Hunger walk as part of Make a Difference day on Wednesday, Oct. 24.
The entire school community will walk to Turner Elementary School and around the high school in an effort to raise money and food for the Greene, Leeds and Turner food banks.

Starting around 10:15 a.m., Leavitt students will line up by class and walk together. The Hornets vs Hunger walk will begin behind the high school and it will make a loop that will pass by Turner Elementary School, Tripp Middle School and Leavitt. Though only Leavitt students and staff will be walking, the community is participating with donations.
The students have either donated non-perishable food items or money to help reduce hunger in the School Administrative District 52 community. The donations will be given to Leavitt students in need and to the local food banks.
The food need is definite in the local area and is on the rise, organizers said. Food and cash donations can be dropped off in the Leavitt main office.

The walk is organized by the Leavitt Key Club, the Leavitt Running Club, the National Honor Society and by several Leavitt teachers and students.
