THE CANDYMAN CAN GBS Canned Food Drive Underway Until Tuesday, November 25, 2008

The Holiday Season is a time for sharing. In honor of the holiday spirit, Glenbrook South High School wishes to inform you of the start of our 25th annual CANNED FOOD DRIVE. This year’s canned food drive theme is “THE CANDYMAN CAN.”

Proceeds will be directed to local and national charitable efforts such as: the Onward House (a Chicago settlement house), the Northfield Township Food Pantry, and Vital Bridges. This activity will serve the important purpose of benefitting the people dependent on these organizations for food. The canned food drive will be held through November 25th. Our Student Council has set the ambitious goal of a school wide collection of 100,002 cans. Monetary donations will also be accepted and added to the overall total.

Once again we are offering competitions for period 1 class totals, grade totals, and club totals. Prizes will include a free breakfast for the top three period 1 classes and a pizza party for the top club.
