❄️ HUGE shoutout to the amazing staff at PikeView High School! ❄️ Even on a snow day, these dedicated folks braved the weather to ensure our students in need received their food boxes through the Extra Mile program. Thanks to our incredible partnership with the Mountaineer Food Bank, these boxes are packed with fresh fruit and vegetables, milk, hamburger meat, pork loins, and other shelf-stable items. And a special thanks to our Door Dashers for delivering these essential supplies! We are incredibly thankful for the PVHS staff's compassion and commitment to our community. They truly embody the spirit of going the extra mile! #MercerCountySchools #ExtraMile #MountaineerFoodBank #CommunitySupport #PikeViewHighSchool #SnowDayHeroes
