Cassville second graders team up to help the hungry

April 17, 2019

Tom Ittner, with Thrivent Financial, issued a challenge to Mrs. Chappell's second grade class at Cassville School. In exchange for hosting a canned food drive, Ittner made a financial contribution to their class to assist purchasing t-shirts for their upcoming field trip to the Wonders of Wildlife museum. Students donated the food items to the Cassville Community Food Pantry at the Methodist Church and the Helping Hands Community Food Pantry.
