In a heartwarming display of community spirit, students and faculty at Helen B. Duffield Elementary School came together to create food baskets for families in need in the Connetquot community.

As part of the initiative, each student selected a non-perishable food item to contribute to their class’s basket. Donations included staples such as stuffing, canned vegetables, gravy and instant potatoes.

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of everyone involved, Duffield Elementary was able to assemble 19 complete food baskets, which will be donated to local families. This charitable effort was inspired by the district’s Emotional Awareness and Social Learning (EASL) monthly theme of “gratitude”, encouraging students to reflect on the importance of giving back and supporting their community.
