Photo by Maura Collins by Christy Stevens Operation Dough Nation was Maine South's Food Drive slogan this year. The drive, sponsored by Student Council, tried to increase the efforts this year. The food drive began last Monday with huge success. Along with the drive came fierce class compjetition. Each year, all class levels fight to be the class with the most number of contributions. The daily contribution was recorded each day in the cafeteria, announcing to the school who was in the lead. The addition of the faculty to the competition added some heat to the students to keep up.
The food drive also tried to help inspire students by setting up "special days" such as Sticker Day and Double Dollar Day. Another incentive for students to donate is by making pennies negative points. The students could then still donate and, at the same time, bring down their biggest competitor. The drop off for food was in the bookstore and the student council office. Both money and food was collected during lunch periods. All donations go to Marillac House, Little Sisters of the poor and the Park Ridge Food Pantry to help those organizations help others throughout the up)coming winter.
