The High School coordinated a fall break food drive for Metro Nashville Public School students who live just east of USN's main campus.
The High School coordinated a fall break food drive for Metro Nashville Public School students who live just east of USN's main campus.
This year, like in the past couple of years, the High School has completed a separate drive from the Middle and Lower Schools. The High School has put together Fall Break food bags for children in the Edgehill community. There was a specific list for this drive, which included kid-friendly items children can prepare.
This drive concluded on Wednesday, Sept. 28 because the Metro Nashville Public School fall break is the first week of October, so we delivered bags to Carter-Lawrence Elementary School and Brighter Days Program this week. USNA has graciously added free tickets for pizza, snow cones, and books to the food bags for the children whom we hope will join us for Fall Fest.

The Lower and Middle Schools will hold their annual Second Harvest food drive from Monday, Oct. 17 through Monday, Oct. 31. This drive is a more standard drive with an emphasis on the foods with more protein, such as peanut butter and canned tuna. Through this drive, all goods will be donated to Second Harvest’s satellite center in the Edgehill community at Kayne Avenue Baptist Church. Lower schoolers can put items in any Second Harvest food box at the 21st Avenue parking lot, 19th Avenue parking lot, as well as by the Edgehill entrance and in other areas while middle schoolers should take their donations to their advisors’ classrooms. They will then be sorted and taken to Kayne Avenue Baptist Church on Community Service Day by High School students.
Last week, After-School students delivered 20 completed bags of items for the fall break drive, and administrative offices also pitched in through a healthy competition.
Questions about the food drives can be directed to High School Community Service Club Treasurer Benjamin Harris or advisor Betty White.
