Sunset Middle School students and faculty have really gotten into the spirit of giving this holiday season. Feed America First was the beneficiary of a canned good drive, sponsored by the student council, which resulted in approximately 350 pounds of food donations prior to Thanksgiving.

The SSMS library waived around $70.00 in overdue fines for students who contributed canned goods to the drive. 

Student Council collected more than 700 stockings, with additional boxes full of toys and treats for the Salvation Army Toy drive.

The SSMS NJHS collected 11-12 boxes of new and “gently used” books in its Book Drive, to be donated through a project to get more books into the hands of students in the Franklin Special Schools District.

In other news at Sunset Middle, the Saber Forensic team brought home the sixth-place trophy at the Junior Classic tournament on the campus of Western Kentucky University.
