With there being no school at United on Friday, TOMORROW (Thursday) is the last day of the week to bring in food items for the Clash of the Cans food drive challenge.

The contest has been going at each school over the course of this week, with a traveling trophy to be awarded to the school of the current year champion. In short, the school that collects the most food items this week will be the 2022 Clash of the Cans Champion.
