NRE is no Grinch when it comes to food drive

New Richmond Elementary ended its 2014 food drive with an assembly featuring Principal Terry Miller reading Letters to Santa written by NRE students as part of the Make A Wish Foundation and an performance by counselor, Angela Gray, who promised the students that if they donated 1,000 cans to the canned food drive she would dress up like the Grinch. The students donated 1559 cans at the time of the assembly and went over the 1600 mark by the end of the school day. The canned food drive benefits New Richmond’s Food Pantry.
