The Byron-Bergen community members, administrators, faculty, staff and students donated toys and games, clothing items, rolls of wrapping paper, and over one thousand non-perishable food items in a recent holiday project. The B-B winter sports teams held a contest challenging each other to bring in the most food items – this year bringing in over 500 non-perishable food items. In addition, close to $2,500 was donated by the community, administrators, faculty, and staff to purchase gifts for families in need from the school district. All the food items were picked up by the local Hesperus Lodge No. 837 Free & Accepted Masons for sorting and packing into 90+ food baskets for local families, as they have done for many years, with several community, Board of Education, and school district members pitching in to help.
Sponsors of this holiday good will were organized by Hesperus Lodge No. 837 Free & Accepted Masons and coordinated by Dick Sands; and include the faculty, staff and students of Byron-Bergen CSD; the Byron-Bergen community members, and area businesses.
