| For
their senior class service project this year, officers Elena Martinez,
Andrew Walden, Irene Morrison-Moncure and
Anna Duning (pictured left to right) got cookin’ by
organizing a dinner-making campaign for the Falls Church Winter Shelter.
From November until the end of March, seniors met every Tuesday to
cook up and deliver feasts with menus that included spaghetti pie,
fried chicken, enchilada casserole and always, freshly baked brownies.
Nearly 30 seniors participated in the project with the help of the
officers as well as class sponsors Ms. Mears and Ms. Whitlock, who
often took it upon themselves to pick up and deliver food to the shelter
when some groups failed to show. Nonetheless, even during a blustery
snowstorm, the seniors fed the shelter’s 14 residents each week, whether
it was by preparing a homemade meal in the school’s gourmet cooking
room or picking up a delicious ready-to-go order from Super Chicken
as pictured
above. |
