It's been a pretty laid-back morning so far. I haven't done very much other than eat toast for breakfast and call a few grocery stores to see if they'll donate cans for my school's canned food drive. My school's canned food drive is one of the biggest events of our school year. We bring in an insane amount of stuff; last year we brought in 47,000 cans! This year the goal is 45,000, and currently we aren't even halfway there yet,it's at something like 13,000 cans. It ends on Monday (although they may have extended it because this year it was shortened), so we're trying to get as many cans as possible for Monday. The grade that brings the most cans in gets a picnic at the end of the year (aka the senior picnic).
In addition to the hopes of reaching that goal, part of the canned food drive is the competition between first period classes to bring in the most cans. It's a general schoolwide competition, but most classes don't really care about that. What's really fun are the individual class throwdowns. My class has already done (and won) one, and currently we are involved with the first ever tag-team throwdown consisting of four senior classes teamed up against each other. No matter who wins this, it could easily cinch the senior class picnic for us.
Despite all the fun competitive stuff, the best part of the canned food drive is being able to help so many people with all of that food.
