Seymour students collecting turkeys Saturday for food banks

SEYMOUR - On Saturday Seymour Middle School eighth grade students will hold the 14th annual Turkey Drive to make Thanksgiving brighter for local families.

Students and staff will collect donated frozen turkeys from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Seymour Middle School, 211 Mountain Road, and at Chatfield-LoPresti School, 51 Skokorat St.

Turkeys will be donated to Seymour school families, the Seymour-Oxford Food Bank, and Spooner House in Shelton.

Kudos to the educators who are involved in this initiative! It's a wonderful way to raise awareness and teach young people the importance of giving back to the community.
