Hanes Students Collect Food and Raise Money to Help Others

Here is what Principal Lisa Duggins had to say about the holiday food drive at Hanes Magnet School:

“The Hanes Magnet School dragon roared against hunger this holiday season. 

“The students set a new record for their annual food drive which supports the Winston Salem rescue mission’s food bank. They filled 40 barrels with canned goods and raised over $3,200 dollars.

“Each day the Hanes dragon, who is an anonymous teacher, would make announcements for the latest weekly challenges, which included SMOD-free days, a staff/student basketball game, going to a Wake Forest University basketball game and some wild teacher challenges.

“Two teachers had a dance-off in front of the entire school to a few popular hip hop songs, while other teachers had to dress in wigs and have their fingernails painted.  All in all, the food drive was a ‘roaring’ success.”
