The NASH Canned Food Drive, run by NASH Student Council, is underway NOW through next Monday in support of the North Hills Food Bank.  Students will be able to donate unopened, non-perishable canned and boxed food.  Cash donations of any amount will also be accepted, with one dollar being equal to two cans.  Students will turn in their cans to their homerooms during the drive — the homeroom with the most reported cans will win a doughnut breakfast!  Let’s make sure that no members of our community are hungry this Thanksgiving!  Thanks for your help, NASH.
