High School Food Drive

All of Liberty-Benton High School students and staff participated in a ten day food drive for our local Salvation Army. In all, the high school collected over 115 cases of food through their STRIDES groups, and we thank Z-Club members for doing a great job with the sorting and packing. Mrs. Boyd’s STRIDES group set a new record with the amount of food collected by one STRIDES group. We are happy to make a positive difference in our community. #WeAreLB
