Students Host Crayon Drive

FREEHOLD – The 11th Grade Student Government and FFA at Freehold Township High School recently hosted a crayon drive to help support an elementary school in need. Students Ava Yabko and Natalie Celano organized this drive to collect crayons for Deerfield Elementary School, which is a Title I school in Edgewood, Maryland. Title

I schools have a large number of students from low-income households. Freehold Township High School collected over 5,400 crayons to be donated. These crayons will help support classrooms and families in the Harford County School District. Hopefully, these crayons will help bring color to the students’ lives!

Kayak Launches Installed At Echo Lake And Sparrow Lake
