Community Partner Wawa, Sponsors Millstone Twp. Middle School 8th Grade Breakfast Benefiting Local Food Bank
On Friday, June 5, 2015, a breakfast will be held honoring Millstone Township Middle School’s 8th graders. The breakfast celebrates the graduating 8th grade class of 2015. Wawa, in Monroe is donating 200 Sizzli breakfast sandwiches and orange juice for the breakfast. Wawa is a tremendous community partner and looks to support local community schools and businesses.
“We are very happy to be a part of the community of Millstone Twp. And Monroe.” “We look forward to serving this community both inside and outside of our store.” “Community Connections is very important to Wawa and we are both honored and excited to be participating in this event,” commented Carol Healy, General Manager, Wawa
This breakfast also shines a spotlight on the National Junior Honor Society service project. The 21 member honor society is conducting a Food Drive for The FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. Students and community are asked to donate food items now through June 19th.
The National Junior Honor Society strives for excellence in character, leadership, academics, and service. Mrs. Marcella Heine, National Junior Honor Society advisor, is so proud of these students when they approached her to ask if they could work at the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties. The field trip was approved and they spent an entire day volunteering.
“Every single member worked so hard to sort through and stack over 4,000 pounds of food for people who need it. Not one of them slacked off or complained the entire day. They got right to work and smiled the whole time. Mrs. Michal Friedman and I were proud to be their “coaches” this year; especially during this particular project,” beamed Mrs. Heine.
According to Dr. Christopher Huss, Principal, “I continue to be impressed by the work of this year’s eighth grade class. They are a group of genuinely kind individuals who work together to help others, give back to their community, and set an example for all of us to follow. They truly epitomize the character that we strive to instill in every one of our students.”
