Food Fight: Edison is participating in the annual Food for Families Drive, on behalf of the Eastern Illinois Foodbank in Champaign. It is from Oct. 5 to Oct 12. We are involved in the annual "Food Drive" and "Food Fight." The "Food Drive" is a collection of canned meats, peanut butter, boxed meals, soup, canned fruits, and canned veggies. Students may bring in items to their Social Studies class. The other event is the "Food Fight". The "Food Fight" is a friendly fundraising competition with other local schools. The students are raising money to provide food—measured in "meals"—to hungry local families. These funds go a long way—for every dollar donated, the Eastern Illinois Foodbank can acquire $10 worth of food, or 3.7 meals. Last year, Edison placed second in the "Food Fight." There are daily progress updates via Twitter, Facebook, and on the WCIA Channel 3 morning show. Edison student council is sponsoring this event.
