Food drive at the recently expanded Madison Van Hise Elementary School
In addition to accepting donations at the school through the drive, McGuire said the kindergarten classes went around the Van Hise neighborhood and collected donations from homes on Wednesday. They first put up posters on Dec. 1 alerting residents to their planned collection event, filling up 10 wagons between the three classes.
“We’re just so proud of them,” McGuire said. “And we’re just so proud of our community, too, for being so supportive.”
Madison taxpayers recently funded the expansion of our least diverse schools, including Van Hise and nearby Hamilton middle schools. This, despite space in nearby facilities.
