Attention Students: HUNT OFF HUNGER Delavan-Darien High School is partnering with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to fight off hunger during the month of November. Please bring non-perishable food into the high school anytime during open business hours and drop it off in the barrels located outside the front office. All food donated will go directly to our local food pantry at St. Andrew’s. There is a twist to this food donation, however, as Delavan-Darien High School will be competing against both Lake Geneva Badger and Elkhorn Area High Schools to see which district can get the most food donated. Let’s show our Comet Pride and win the Hunt of Hunger Battle of the Schools!!!
