Earlier this month, students from Kindergarten - 5th grade at Newark Charter School collected more than 1,500 items for the NAWC Food Cupboard! Their goal was 1,000 items to earn a schoolwide spirit day, and they far surpassed it.

A heartfelt thank you to the school community: students, families, and staff, for supporting this effort and demonstrating the power of giving back. It’s inspiring to see students learning the value of volunteering and helping others at such a young age. Your generosity and community spirit make a real difference!
