ISA Superhero Food Drive

ISA’s annual Food Drive is a cherished tradition that brings our community together to support those in need during the winter months, a season that reminds us of the importance of giving. Organised by the Lower School Student Council, this year’s theme was ‘Superheroes.’ The Drive encouraged students, parents, and staff to come together and make a heartwarming and positive impact on our local community by donating non-perishable food items to help families in need. 

The collected donations were given to the Sisters of Charity in Amsterdam, a local charity that supports individuals and families throughout the city. Adding a fun twist to the campaign were the daily appearances of the ‘Superhero Chicken,’ who reminded everyone that we all have the power to be heroes in our own way!

Lower School Pastoral Care Lead Amy shared, “This year’s Food Drive was a true team effort led by the Student Council. After choosing the Superhero theme, they extended the event to the whole school, which helped us collect even more food. From creating fliers to boxing donations, students were involved every step of the way. One Grade 5 representative even dressed as a ‘Superhero Chicken,’ the Food Drive mascot. It was wonderful to see students take such meaningful action and give back during the holiday season.”

In the final days of the Food Drive, Student Council representatives and the Facilities Team packed up the collected items and delivered them to the Sisters of Charity in Amsterdam. The donations were gratefully received and will help provide meals to families in need this winter.

Thank you to everyone who supported this initiative by donating food and spreading the message of care and compassion. Your efforts truly embody the spirit of ISA and show that even small acts of kindness can have a big impact. This annual food drive is a wonderful tradition at ISA, and we look forward to continuing our support of those in need every year.
