Gathering Goodies

Marshall Lane Elementary School students (from left) Nicholas Li, Bradley Meacham and Rachel Smithson count books they and their classmates collected as part of a recently completed charity drive, which began in November, for three different charities. The school collected food, clothing and books for the needy for Second Harvest Food Bank, the Salvation Army and a book drive program for Barnes & Noble and Super Crown bookstores. Parents and students contributed more than 700 pounds of food and clothing and more than 400 new or used books for the drive. Janie Meacham, a volunteer at the school, said students from the school's student council organized the events in an effort to do something for needy children.
