NPHS Student Council Canned Food Drive will be from Monday, October 31st to Friday, Nov. 11th (4:00pm). This event brings in tens of thousands of food items for North Platte and Lincoln County food banks. These food items are made available to families in need here in our area only. These families include friends, neighbors, and fellow classmates. A list with the point totals will be distributed to each teacher and will be posted around the school, or they can be picked up from Mr. Bruck in room 2201.

Each grade will be tied to an administrator. For the grades that meet their goal, the administrator assigned to that class will have to kiss a pig in front of the student body during a school wide assembly. A Bulldog Time competition will also take place for the Canned Food Drive. The Bulldog Time that brings the most items, will earn Casey’s breakfast pizza.
