Cascade High School continues food drive tradition
EVERETT — Cascade High School wouldn’t be the same without it.
Every year, students across the entire school spend months preparing for a massive food donation drive, collecting food to be donated to hundreds of local families. The tradition stretches all the way back to the first year the south Everett high school opened in 1961.
More than six decades later, it’s still going strong, as students spent the week collecting and organizing tens of thousands of donated food items before delivering them to hundreds of families throughout the community. Students had collected over 51,000 cans of food and 1,100 to distribute to locals, along with over $19,000 in monetary donations to give to charity.
Almost everybody in the school of more than 1,600 students has a hand in making the food drive successful, said Kelly Rogers, an ASB and leadership teacher at the high school.
