As part of a school-wide service project, Ox Ridge Elementary School students collected food items to support those in need. Teacher Jenny Trifiatis led the kindergarten team in organizing the annual food drive event aimed at supporting the Bridgeport Rescue Mission. The mission’s focus is to provide food, clothing, shelter, education, support, and job training for the urban poor and addicted in coastal Fairfield County. Each grade level was challenged to collect 100 items of food to donate to the Bridgeport Rescue Mission. Students helped load the items recently for use in the mission’s pantry and mobile kitchens.
