The Rotary office received a "Thank You" letter dated December 18, 2019 from Mrs. Christen Sedmock, Allen Elementary Principal (also the daughter of Canton Rotarian Ernie Schott!). The letter reads:"Dear Canton Rotary ~ Words cannot express the gratitude for your generosity in sponsoring a "non-perishable" drive to stock our food pantry for the students and families of Allen Elementary School. It was truly amazing to see an entire Allen classroom filled with food! We are also extremely thankful for the amount of winter coats, underwear, socks, etc that you have provided our school.
For those of you who are not familiar with the Allen Community, we are located in the Southeast End of Canton. All of our students receive free breakfast, lunch, and a daily snack. Students that attend our after school program also receive dinner at school.
It does take a village to raise a child. We are truly blessed to have so many people wrap around our students and our community!
With Gratitude - Mrs. Christen Sedmock, Allen Elementary Principal"
