This Christmas for our “Giving Project” at school we will be doing a Reverse Advent Calendar to help stock the shelves at the Athens Food Pantry (Circle of Joy). The idea is that each day an item from the “Advent Calendar” is brought into the classroom. We have created the “Advent Calendar” based on current needs for the Athens Food Pantry. Students were given a list of items to be collected each day. This week’s items are: Monday – can of vegetables; Tuesday – can of soup; Wednesday – can of fruit or jello; Thursday – can of tuna or chicken; Friday – peanut butter or jelly.
