The Annual National Honor Society Thanksgiving in a Basket Food Drive is underway! Running until Wednesday, November 16, students will bring in extra boxes of various food items that will be delivered to St. Margaret’s and handed out to families in need.  

The food drive’s main goal is for students to bring in extra boxes of food they have available. Various Thanksgiving staples are being asked to be brought in. The goal this year is to cover 70 family tables!
