It’s an unfortunate truth that a significant number of children go to school and to bed with empty stomachs most days. This fact does not sit well for Vista PEAK Preparatory students and they decided to do something about it.
Instead of spending their days off from school leisurely, a group of Vista PEAK Preparatory juniors and seniors assisted Food Bank of the Rockies with providing food and supplies to Colorado’s hunger-relief programs, including programs specifically designed to feed hungry children.
In just two and a half hours of volunteer work at the organization’s warehouse, students had set up enough pallets to distribute food to more than 3,742 children! Food bank staff expressed how impressed they were with the students’ enthusiasm, diligence and teamwork.
“This is just one way our students are showing their leadership skills,” said Kimberly Ausman, Vista PEAK Preparatory educational assistant and E2020 online specialist. “The feedback we received shows the caliber of students we are helping to grow in the Vista PEAK community.
Several students found the experience so fulfilling that they signed up to continue volunteering. APS applauds every student who gives unselfishly of their time to make a difference in others’ lives.
