“This food drive is a friendly competition between the various CHS homerooms,” said Atcheson.
The 2010 winning homeroom was 217, under the guidance of Mrs. Linda Mazerolle. Room 217 students will be treated to a special visit by Saint Nicholas, delivering a bit of holiday cheer today.
This year students and staff at Caribou High School collected a total value of more than $2,000 in food items.
Students Elizabeth Keaton and Jacob Atcheson served as committee chairs for the event which is sponsored each year by the CHS National Honor Society.
