MORAN While Halloween is a distant memory, a group of Marmaton Valley High School students were still in the mood for some trick-or-treating.
The Marmaton Valley Kansas Association of Youth (KAY) chapter held its third annual Trick or Treat so They Can Eat event in Moran on Nov. 15.
Twenty-five students, along with four volunteer drivers, spent 45 minutes traveling within town to seek non-perishable food items to benefit Hope Unlimiteds food pantry.
The students were required to get back to the starting point within the 45-minute window, or be disqualified. All returned, the last with 73 seconds to spare, sponsor Kelci Botts said.
The students collected more than 500 items and $133 in cash donations.
I am super proud of the kids and of our community for being so willing to help others, Botts said. Thats what living in a small community is all about doing for others. We have a saying in KAY work made fun gets done and thats just what these students did.
