Altogether, we collected over 120 pounds of candy donated by the students and staff at Stonegate ES. The candy was then donated to the Food Closet in Silver Spring and Stepping Stones Shelter in Rockville.

The SGA Officers, along with Ms. Elaraj, SGA Sponsor, Mrs. Berning, Counselor, and Ms. Retzos, Counselor Intern, went to deliver the candy to the Stepping Stones Shelter in person. We even got a tour!

Historian Alisha Nesbitt captures a picture of the SGA Officers along with Ms. Elaraj, SGA Sponsor, Mrs. Berning, Counselor, and Ms. Retzos, Counselor Intern, as they arrive at the Stepping Stones Shelter in Rockville to make a candy donation on behalf of students and staff at Stonegate Elementary School.

Mary Miller, Donation and Volunteer Coordinator, and Jessie, High School Intern, pose with the SGA Officers after giving them a tour of the Shelter.

As part of the tour, we got to see what the kitchen looked like and how it operated.

At the end of the tour, we took a picture on the steps of the shelter, which is also a historic building.
