The 2014 Thanksgiving Food Drive to benefit the Fauquier Community Food Bank at Highland School was a great success, thanks to the generosity of our Highland community. Highland's total school donation was 4,698 pounds, up from the 3,324 pounds donated to the food bank last year.

Additionally, Highland's Senior class continued their tradition of sponsoring one turkey per Senior with a donation of $660. As well as collecting wish list items for the food bank, student groups in each division hosted an assembly to generate awareness for the larger issue of hunger and poverty. In the Upper School, students heard from Mr. Tom Baccei, longtime volunteer and Board President for the Fauquier Food Bank who said they hope to offer Thanksgiving dinner baskets to 800 families in Fauquier, up from 650 last year.
