Journey Elementary is participating in a “Super Food Bowl” Food Drive & Grade Competition! We are collecting food items during the week before the Super Bowl, Jan. 28 – Feb. 1 and donating the items to the local Food Pantry. Grades will compete against each other. For each item brought, that grade will move their football player 5 yards. Once they go 100 yards, they score 7 points. At the end of the week, we will see which class wins the “Super Food Bowl” and a popcorn party! For more information https://5il.co/67i1.
