Fort Bend ISD Schools Support Souper Bowl of Caring

FORT BEND ISD ― Several Fort Bend ISD schools took part in the national Souper Bowl of Caring campaign by donating non-perishable food items to benefit area food pantries. Souper Bowl of Caring, known as the nation’s largest youth-led weekend of giving and serving, equips and mobilizes youth to positively impact their communities by collecting money or food on or near Super Bowl weekend to help fight hunger and poverty. The following are just a few examples of the generosity demonstrated by FBISD students and staff in support of the Souper Bowl of Caring campaign.

The staff at Seguin Elementary School set a goal of 489 food items for Souper Bowl of Caring, projecting at least one item per student enrolled at the campus. Students and staff surpassed the goal by bringing in more than 1,630 food items to benefit the Fort Bend Women’s Center. Pictured (from left to right) are: Brianna, Shaymaya, Laura, Ja’Rod, Michelle, Keno, Samuel, Bryen, and (back row) Melinda Moreno, Student Council advisor; and Georgia Hicks, counselor.

The Sugar Mill Elementary School Student Council led their school’s efforts in the Souper Bowl of Caring campaign. Five days prior to the NFL Super Bowl game, Sugar Mill Elementary students brought in nearly 5,000 pounds of non-perishable food items for the Houston Food Bank. Pictured are (front, from left) Jordan Farber, Lindsey Sibille, (second row, from left) Larry Chairez, Leslie Gallo, Justin Montenegro, Evan Grimes, Phelan Dickerson, and (back row) Madison McCammon, Turner Calabrese, Lukas Tsokos, Jake Landry, Blake Takushi, and Eli Smith.

Scanlan Oaks Elementary students and staff also went above and beyond what was expected of them by donating more than 5,718 items of non-perishable food items. The Souper Bowl of Caring campaign at Scanlan Oaks was spearheaded by Melanie Walter, nurse/counselor assistant, and will benefit the Sacred Heart Food Pantry in Arcola.
