Students at Vestavia Hills Elementary West kicked off the holiday season last month with a school-wide food drive. The students competed across their nine houses to see who could bring in the most donations. The result was a total of more than 7,000 items, with Aroha winning the house competition.First grader Eliza Batte was most excited to donate boxes of macaroni and cheese to the cause. “I love having macaroni and cheese at Christmas and wanted other people to have some, too,” she said. Students helped load the donations to be taken to Vestavia Methodist Church, as well as to be distributed by school counselors to West families in need.
