N.D. – (NewsDakota.com) Remember as someone once said, “The happiest people are not those who are getting more, but those who are giving more.” And that was the focus for the students at the Barnes County North in the month of November. 

Students in grades kindergarten through sixth grade collected a total of 625 food and pantry items for the Barnes County Food Pantry. The sixth graders won the competition by collecting 164 bathroom items. The will receive a pizza party. 

For the month of December, the teachers wanted to continue the spirit of giving, so even though teachers appreciate the gifts that their students bring them for Christmas, they are requesting that this year students bring one dollar or more to give to the APOC known as the Abused Persons Outreach Center in Valley City.

So far, teachers have collected a total of $222 from the students. The teachers are so proud of their students’ generosity at Barnes County North.
