Trumbull Students Take On Hunger in Connecticut
Over the last couple of months, Connecticut Food Bank has had听the privilege of working with a group of extremely bright and talented fifth graders enrolled in Trumbull鈥檚 Academically Gifted Program. The 25+ students have taken on Hunger in Connecticut as their service learning project听and invited us to lead some听discussions about local hunger and what they can do to help their hungry neighbors.
