ROCK SPRINGS– The students at Westridge Elementary School have been collecting canned food and non-perishable food items throughout the week to donate to the Sweetwater County Food Bank.

The Westridge Elementary PTO initiated the Food Train food drive, in which each grade level was competing with each other to raise the most food.

The grade that collects the most food will have a pizza party thrown for them by the PTO, so the competition was fierce!
