Students donate - On Oct. 20 Grade 7 students, accompanied by their teacher Cheryl Keiffer, walked to the Mount Forest Community Food Pantry (food bank) pulling wagons loaded with food items donated by their schoolmates and teachers - 450 pounds to be exact.

Quiana Sargeant, Maddie Scott and Isabella Malloch bring a wagon loaded with food into the Mount Forest Community Food Pantry. The volunteer organization, which recently moved into new digs, serves Mount Forest and those in a 10- to 15-mile radius of the town, including Holstein, Kenilworth and Ayton.
