Under the supervision of Dr. Burton, Great Potential Site Director at Sleep Hollow Middle and High School, the students determined that leading a food drive would be an effective way to meet a community need.Bins for the collection of non-perishable foods were place in Middle School classrooms and in the main offices at the middle and high schools.Middle school classes competed for bringing in the most items weekly for one and a half months.The process was monitored by the students of the Great Potential program for the duration of the project.The winning classes were treated to a pizza or ice cream sundae party; however, all of the students appreciated the opportunity to help those in need.At the end of the food drive, the students in the Great Potential Program, accompanied by Dr. Burton delivered the items to the Even Start Program in Tarrytown, and met with Sue Gitlitz, the Program Director, who taught them more about the program which provides support services for families with low income and low literacy skills.
