CLARKS SUMMIT — Eighth grade students at the Abington Heights Middle School recently gathered and delivered three vans filled with donations for the St. Francis of Assissi Kitchen in Scranton. Mrs. Phillips, the Eight Blue Reading teacher, gave students an assignment of performing several “random acts of kindness. The students, along with their mothers, quickly organized the food drive.
