Floyd County Schools' students, faculty and community surpassed all expectations with another monumental effort in this year's 11 Alive Salvation Army Can-a-Thon.  Students, faculty and parents of the schools delivered over 184,800 cans to the Salvation Army collection drop at the Rome Forum.  This was the largest total of cans ever collected by students in the school system as the school community exceeded last year’s total by over 61,800 cans.  The total of can goods collected from Floyd County Schools was more than the total of the other three Can-a-thon collection points across the state combined.  The Forum location was the Can-a-thon drop point with the most donations with a total of 234,360 items of food.   Students also worked as volunteers to help the Salvation Army unload and separate the cans of food in the Forum parking lot.  

Model Middle School set a new record for donations with over 63,000 cans.  Perennial state leader, Pepperell Middle School, once again broke their school record for can good collection with over 53,000 cans.  Each student, parent and faculty member can be proud of this effort to help provide needed food for families over the holidays.
