Lower School students in grade 3 led a Tartan delegation of students, professional community members and parents last weekend at the Family Assistance Ministries’ 37th Annual Hunger Walk in San Clemente.  

The grade 3 involvement is tied to the grade-level focus on Global Goal No. 2, zero hunger. In addition to spreading the word about the event and raising funds to support FAM, the grade 3 students also invited their kindergarten buddies to take part in the walk. Grade 3 students gained valuable insights into food scarcity in South Orange County, helping them understand the important work that FAM does for the community.

St. Margaret’s school and church was also a combined team and was honored at the walk for the long standing partnership between the organization, students, infant pantry and church.

In total, more than 80 members of the St. Margaret’s school and church community took part in the two mile walk, and more than $5,000 was raised in support of FAM, which works to assist people in need in Orange County.
