St. Christopher’s & Collegiate Schools Raise 10,274 Pounds of Food

At the annual archrival game between St. Christopher’s & Collegiate Schools last Saturday, a record-breaking total of 10,274 pounds of food was raised for the Central Virginia Food Bank.

Together with the help of St. Catherine’s School, the schools’ joint venture is current the number one giver for non-corporations this year. The closest competitor was a government agency at 6.594 pounds. The schools tripled the number of pounds ever brought in by a school.

A Food Bank representative reported the organization as being “ecstatic.” It took 2 trucks to get all of the food to the warehouse.

Congrats on your success, St. C and Collegiate!!

Archrivals Take to the Field (For a Good Cause Too!)

St. Christopher’s and the Collegiate School square off tomorrow at St. Christopher’s football field tomorrow (Saturday, November 3rd) for the popular long-standing game between the two rivals.

In addition, the two schools are working together to raise food for the Central Virginia Foodback. Spectators are encouraged to bring canned items to fill the 220 brown paper bags at the game.

“We just thought this would be a good cause and something we could easily collaborate on,” said Pierre Molster, president of St. Christopher’s Student Council.

“We do a lot of canned-food drives at Collegiate, but we thought this would be a good way to bring a lot more cans in,” said Melissa Trask, co-leader of the Collegiate Community Council.

The Times-Dispatch reports:

Fans from both private schools will pile canned goods into containers placed in front of the bleachers. Each school was supplied with 500 commemorative brown paper bags, donated by the Bank of Goochland, with the fleur-de-lis and paw print logos of the Saints and the Cougars.

Jenna Bush Talks About “Love” on 20/20

You’re probably wondering why we care about Jenna Bush being on tonight’s episode of “20/20.” Normally we wouldn’t but considering her fiancee, Henry Hager, is a St. Christopher’s School graduate, we thought it might make a nice headline. That and it seems to be a slow news day. Maybe we should take the day off and head to the State Fair! At any rate, the Times-Dispatch has more:

According to ABC News, which is promoting this as her first television interview, Bush describes Hager — son of John H. Hager, chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia and a former lieutenant governor — as a hard worker, open-minded and extremely outdoorsy.
