WLOX-TV - The News for South Mississippi: School Children Show Spirit Of Caring And Generosity: "There was a flurry of activity at Harrison Central High Friday morning, as Interact and DECA Club members turned over boxes of food to the Salvation Army.
'It was pretty hard, because we had to do a lot of work, and the fliers and the posters,' says Harrison Central Junior Masha Tolstova. 'We had an issue, because students weren't donating enough food. We were like, 'Oh my gosh, this isn't going to be enough.''
The donations eventually poured in - more than 6,000 food items in all - making this the school's biggest canned food drive ever.
'Our goal was 5,000 cans and we were really freaking out,' says Masha. 'Then when we counted yesterday, we were like, 'Oh my gosh, we did it.''"
