Fall Fest came and went, but Family and Community Services now has another task ahead: Gobbling For Good, a project launching Monday and ending Nov. 13.

With this project, each teacher will collect monetary donations from their students, aiming to raise enough money through cash or check for these three goals:

  1. Giving ten HEB Thanksgiving Meals to SV families that need them
  2. Presenting custodians, cafeteria staff, grounds keepers, and guard shack attendants with 40 turkeys come Thanksgiving, and ham for Christmas.
  3. Gifting the Bulverde Food Bank, the Hope Center Food Pantry, and the GVTC Foundation with a portion of the earnings.

For the five days that this challenge is up and runnings for, a teacher will contain his/her classroom contributions in five ZipLoc bags (one for each day of the week). For every $25 donation a class makes, one turkey will be plastered on the teacher’s door.

On Nov. 17, the class with the most turkeys wins, and an ice cream party will be awarded.
