CHOP (Child Hunger Outreach Program) Weekly Backpack Delivery This week's backpacks were delivered by Business and Superintendent's Office employees'. Also in the photo is CHOP Director Dani Ruhf. We are looking for additional groups to help pick up and deliver on Thursday mornings. Current volunteers are Mr. Cook's class, Mrs. Brown's class, THS Office employees' and Business/Superintendent's Office. It takes between 30-60 minutes to pick up and deliver. Thank you for all of the volunteers and donors that have kept the program going.

Towanda Area Jr/Sr High School students from Mrs. Brown’s class helped with the delivery of backpacks for this weekend’s food program provided by CHOP. 241 Towanda Area School District students receive backpacks filled with food each weekend from CHOP (Child Hunger Outreach Partners).

Students from Mr. Dan Cook's class at Towanda High School helping to deliver backpacks to each of the schools from the Child Hunger Outreach Program. 228 students receive a backpack each week filled with nonperishable foods to take home for the weekend.

Thank you to the Towanda Boys Basketball Team that led the December Walk to School today. There were 57 students joined by many employees and parents that braved the cold to walk to school on the last walk of the season. We hope everyone will join us when we start back in the spring.

Mrs. Rebecca Stanfield, principal of Towanda Junior/Senior High School, announced today that Ryan Risch has been named to the district’s “700 Club”. This club is designed to recognize students who score a 700 or more (out of 800) on at least one section of a College Board SAT test. This is a feat that only about five percent of the nation’s students attain. The average score on the SAT is about 500 per section. A Letter of Commendation from the school will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior.
