Congratulations to Lewiston School District on their Fill the Bus Success!
A special thank you to the people from the transportation, maintenance, and custodial departments that loaded and unloaded the many tons of food and non-perishable items that were collected today.
This event is a continuation of our district giving to others through service learning for our students. It demonstrates to our students that even in times of a pandemic and all the hardships that it encompasses, we can still think of others and their needs, be kind to one another, and be our best selves.
