The Hays High School National Honor Society went house to house Nov. 22-23 collecting food donations for its Holiday Food Drive. When the group delivered the donated goods to the Hays County Food Bank, they learned their collection weighed 1,605 pounds. In the United States, the standard number of pounds in what’s called a short ton is 2,000. So the honor society students collected more than three-quarters of a ton of food. “I am very proud of our organization today. From conception to delivery, this was a completely student-run project. I was available for consultation and guidance as needed, but the officers and committee members organized and effectively ran this, and they did a great job,” Melinda Earp, HHS NHS sponsor, said.
