Rehoboth Elementary students facilitate food drive

Rehoboth Elementary School students in Scott Pierce’s classroom participated in the 39th annual Caroling on The Circle campaign. Each year, this gathering doubles as a community singing event in Georgetown and a food drive for hungry families in Sussex County.

Pierce has been incorporating the food drive project into his classroom for several years, and this year his students collected nearly 2,000 items to donate. While students and staff from throughout the building contributed donations, Pierce’s fourth- and fifth-graders were responsible for advertising and organizing the donations.

Caroling on The Circle took place Dec. 5, but food items will continue to be collected all month and can be dropped off through Saturday, Dec. 31, at the County Administrative Offices building in Georgetown.
