Students at Mandarin Middle School recently concluded a holiday food drive to support local families in need.<\/p>\n

The collection effort was organized through a partnership between the school\u2019s National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and the Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. Through the initiative, students gathered and donated more than 500 nonperishable food items.<\/p>\n

The donations were delivered to the Mandarin Food Bank to assist with holiday distribution.<\/p>\n
