Logan Moody with items for the Sanborn County Food Pantry.
As part of her senior project at Sanborn Central, Logan Moody has been working with the elementary students on character traits. To show their caring attitude, Logan held a food drive for the Sanborn County Food Pantry.
The students in grades pre-K to 12 and the community were encouraged to bring non-perishable food items to school. Over 400 items were donated and delivered to the pantry in time for Christmas.
The TL Rangers bought an item for a boy and a girl that had gift suggestions on the Christmas Caring Tree at First National Bank, SD.
