Santa Anna High School Student Council sponsored their annual canned food drive this November. The High School campus challenged the Elementary campus to see who could donate the most cans once again.  After losing to them last year, the high school decided it wouldn’t happen again.

Elementary was off to a great start, when at the end of the 1st week they had about 250 cans and the high school had none. Students began to slowly bring in cans on Monday and Tuesday at the high school and then the race was off.  When the dust finally cleared, the high school had collected 989 cans, while the elementary collected 450 cans. The grand total of cans collected was 1,439. These cans were donated to Santa Anna’s local food bank at the First United Methodist Church.

The real winners to this story are the students of Santa Anna ISD that were able to help their local community members.
