OLCHS students and staff participated in the annual Student Council Thanksgiving food drive. Donations included cans, paper products and grocery gift cards.
Participating teachers were Ailysh Cooper, Kali Graziano, Eric Kallenborn, Jessie Kolimas, Kyle Kuzur, Mike Olsson, Jessica Nickless, Jeff Vazzana and Tammy Watson. District offices, such as the Business Office, Deans Office and Nurses Office, also donated numerous items.
Students who participated in November's Student Leadership Conference also donated carts of cans.
The winner of Student Council's handmade "Turkey Chalice" award was Mr. Eric Kallenborn, English and fine arts teacher. Kallenborn's classes have earned the award every year since 2021.
All donations were given to local food pantries at Faith Lutheran Church in Oak Lawn and Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Burbank.
