Students do Chores to Donate Food
DENVER - Students at Primrose School in Stapleton just wrapped up weeks of chores to help local families in the area.
Michele Dillard's class did chores at home and in their neighborhoods to raise money to buy items for 9 Cares Colorado Shares.
"I think they really had a good time doing it because they know it's going to be for some families not as fortunate as their own," said school director Virginia Payne.
On Wednesday, the students marched into King Soopers in Stapleton and filled four carts full of food and other items.
"We got a lot, a lot of food so everybody can get enough for Thanksgiving," said 5-year-old Aiden Wood.
Instead of doing chores, the younger kids at the school sold their Halloween candy for 10 cents a piece to raise money. Teachers and parents also gave money to go towards the school's donation.
The school plans on boxing everything up and delivering the goods at 9NEWS on Friday.
