‘Bountiful Tom Turkey’ Photo Contributed
Students of Grace Episcopal School in Alexandria created an oversized, canned and boxed-food “Bountiful Tom Turkey” on Nov. 16, measuring 30 feet by 32, made of boxed and canned foods donated by Grace Episcopal School students and their families. This service learning project led by a parent volunteer, Andrea Karsko, included students from Preschool through Grade Five. More than 250 cans, jars and boxes of food were used in the construction. All of the food was donated to the Grace Episcopal Church Food Pantry, which works in conjunction with the Alexandria Department of Human Services to feed Alexandria families in need.
