School Supports Hunger Relief
Hershey Montessori School’s Huntsburg Campus held a successful fundraiser in November, benefiting the Geauga County Hunger Task Force. Students and staff raised $608, more than doubling the original goal of $300. The contribution will provide over 1,000 meals to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity in Geauga County.
The initiative aimed to raise awareness about hunger while engaging the school community in a creative challenge. Throughout November, staff members pledged not to shave and participated in a friendly competition where points were earned through pennies and bills, while nickels, dimes and quarters subtracted points. The losing participants agreed to receive a pie in the face, adding a fun twist to the campaign.
“While a contest may name a winner, the real victory is found in supporting the dignity and well-being of those who will receive meals,” said Diana Le Sieur, interim head of school and admissions director.
Every dollar raised provides two meals to the more than 10,000 people in Geauga County who face food insecurity.
Last week, students and staff proudly presented a check for $608 to Sue Juhasz, director of the Geauga Hunger Task Force. “This far exceeded our $300 goal,” said the Huntsburg team. “We are thrilled to make a difference and grateful to everyone who contributed.”
Hershey Montessori School thanks all the students, families and staff who participated and supported this important cause. Together, the community demonstrated that small acts of kindness can create a big impact.
