On February 23rd, Partnership Academy and Hillsborough Elementary students joined forces to help with providing food resources to those in need in our community.  Hillsborough Elementary 2nd grade students collected an astounding 1516 pounds of food packed in 87 boxes.  Partnership Academy students then went to HES to gather those boxes and deliver them to the Samaritan Relief food pantry through Orange Congregations in Mission (OCIM).  Check out our photo gallery below!

We appreciate your awesome leadership, Mr. Farrington!
