​       Davis Elementary School third and fourth graders learned the importance of making a difference in the lives of others through a student-led community food drive. The food drive, which was held in January and February, was part of a service-based learning project at the school where students learned everything from how to create and work in committees to doing interviews, creating a website and flyer and script creation and phone etiquette. The project included the students learning from community partners like MICA, Grinnell College, Grinnell Food Coalition, The Iowa Kitchen and Tiger Packs. 
        The students set a goal of collecting 500 food items to donate to MICA. They had collection boxes at Davis Elementary and Grinnell-Newburg Community Schools, Drake Community Library, Grinnell Chamber office, GARC, Grinnell Mutual Insurance, Pioneer Bookshop, Grinnell College and Hy-Vee. The food drive netted more than 1,800 food items along with monetary donations, which were used to purchase additional food items at Hy-Vee. April Gosselink-Lemke is the instructional coach and Reagan Mackie is a fourth grade teacher at Davis.
