Whose class was very dedicated when it came down to donating food for the Academy C canned food drive?  That would be Mrs. Kemper’s ninth grade Global Science class for 3rd period.  They donated over 200 items of food.  Almost everyone donated at least one item, while others donated over twenty items of food.  Everyone was willing to donate for the homeless.  The class strategy was to each donate at least two items, but with other students donating ten or more, those students overruled the students who didn’t donate any food.  While other classes and teacher hid their donated food for others to think that nobody was donating food in those classes, Mrs. Kemper kept the food out on a counter to show how dedicated the class was.  On the last day of the canned food drive the counter was three-quarters of the way filled.  Despite other third period students’ attempts to try to convince us that they were winning, Mrs. Kemper’s class still came out on top.
