ARIS Students Run a Successful Soup-er Bowl Campaign
From the Office of:
Michael Callahan
Director of Human Resources, Hillsborough Township Public Schools
In a year when the need is truly at a premium, the students of Auten Road Intermediate School’s Team 5G (Mrs. Diane Lyons’s and Mrs. Kerry MacDonald’s homerooms) and Team 5H (Mrs. Donna Biddulph’s and Mrs. Elise Newton’s homerooms) challenged each other to collect the most cans of food in the 7th Annual SOUP-er Bowl Collection.
Thanks to the COVID19 pandemic, the competition looked very different this year. About 50% of the students participate in a hybrid model where they are in-person at school twice a week, while the other half learns completely virtually from home. To accommodate this into the collection, cans were not only collected in class, but also through contact-free drop boxes placed outside the main entrance of the school.
The students came through in amazing form. Team 5G&H’s families donated 491 food items for Hillsborough Food Pantry! The ARIS Soup-er Bowl victors were Team 5G Chiefs, but truly all the students were winners by embracing this life lesson of giving back to their community. Way to go 5G & 5H students and families!
Thanks,
