Local Boy Scout Troop 377, which is comprised of students from Minnesauke Elementary School, R.C. Murphy Junior High School and Ward Melville High School, ran a highly successful food drive this holiday season – a drive that directly benefited district families. 

The students spent half a weekend collecting food and supplies, an effort that netted more than 730 pounds of nourishment. The donations were given to the Murphy food pantry, which assists families throughout the year.
