Middle school students at Tallulah Falls School are continuing to model generosity.

A canned food drive organized by seventh-graders Avery Keim of Clarkesville, Megan Prince of Rabun Gap, Caylin Tucker of Demorest and Gracey Eller of Clarkesville generated more than 900 cans for the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia.

FBNG Warehouse Coordinator Philip Wilkes picked up the donations on Nov. 19 at the end of “Spirit Week.”

“This is the second year these students have organized the canned food drive,” said Middle School Director Carol Madden.

“They were so excited to help people last year; this year they were thrilled we more than doubled the number of cans collected. With this effort, the girls are demonstrating positive character traits woven into the TFS mission,” she said.
