The 2024 Winter Carnival Food Drive – Collect, Compete, Contribute!
As the winter chill sets in, the warmth of giving back to our community brings us together. This year’s Winter WHS Carnival Food Drive, hosted by the NHS, is not just a charity event – it’s a spirited competition that rallies our school for a noble cause. From January 29 to February 8, we have the opportunity to make a significant impact in the lives of those who need it most.
The Drive: Collect, Compete, Contribute!
The rules are simple but meaningful:
- Collection Period: January 29 – February 8 (until 3:15 PM). All donations should be placed in the designated boxes in rooms 9, 11, 13, and 16.
- Donation Guidelines: We accept only the items listed below. Ensure that cans aren’t badly dented, packages aren’t torn, and goods aren’t out-of-date.
- Scoring System: Points will be assigned on February 10 by NHS judges. Food items are worth 1 point per $1 estimated value, and monetary donations count as 1 point per $1. Class totals will be adjusted for the number of students to determine the STUDENT POINT SCORE.
- Winning Rewards: The class with the highest STUDENT POINT SCORE will be crowned the 2024 CHAMPIONS, earning valuable Winter Carnival points!
Drop-off Locations for Each Class

- Sophomores: Room 11 (Cummings)
