School Challenge Fills A Semi

The fourth annual Paducah Power System School Challenge generated 22,520 pounds of nonperishable food for local food pantries.  It was enough food to fill a semi trailer.  The Challenge is part of the Christmas in the Park activities which benefit Paducah Cooperative Ministry, Family Service Society and the Salvation Army.  For seventeen days, ten local schools competed for a $1,000 prize that went to the school that collected the most pounds of food per student.  At the end of the drive, PPS employees picked up the food, weighed it and stored it for distribution to the food pantries. 

Community Christian Academy Middle/High School took home the top prize.  CCA students donated nearly thirteen pounds of food per student.  Reidland Elementary was the runner-up with an average of eleven pounds per student.   The award for the best food sculpture created out of the food  collected was Lone Oak Elementary for their dragon sculpture. 

Other schools participating included:  the Commonwealth Middle College, Heath Elementary, Lone Oak Middle, Paducah Middle, Paducah Tilghman, Reidland Middle and St. Mary Middle/High School.  The contest format allowed schools to incorporate math, art and human needs lessons into the drive if they wished to.  Paducah Power System salutes all of the participants for their hard work and dedication to the food drive this year.
