Elk Lake High School took the Most Creative award for their depiction of Charlie Brown, Lucy and Snoopy’s doghouse.
Three area schools competed in this year’s canned food sculpture contest – part of Trehab’s annual Feed a Friend Thanksgiving program. Mountain View and Elk Lake high school, and Mountain View Elementary participated in the contest.
This year entrants were given the theme: “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and challenged to interpret that into a work of art with non-perishable food donations.
The Best in Show award went to Mountain View High School; Most Creative went to Elk Lake; and Best Thanksgiving theme went to Mountain View Elementary.
In addition to the donated food items, Mountain View Principal Robert Presley presented Trehab with a $1,000 donation from the Mountain View faculty.
Edlyn Flannery, of Trehab, said the Feed A Friend program costs about $19,000. Most of that cost comes from the purchase of the Thanksgiving turkeys. Last year, the Feed A Friend program
Woodstock was made into the Thanksgiving turkey by Mountain View Elementary student council members.
served 856 households from the Susquehanna and Montrose food banks. “This will help pay for a lot,” Flannery said. “We thank you.”
Blue Ridge, Montrose and Susquehanna school districts also held food drives for the program.
Mountain View’s student government earned a Best in Show with their sculpture of Schroeder and his piano, along with a Christmas tree of cans.
Anyone wishing to make monetary donations toward this program can send donations to Trehab, PO Box 366, Montrose, PA 18801 and note “Feed A Friend” in the memo line.
