Abe Rivera, 11, peers into the emptied hot chocolate pot while Berney Elementary School students still arrive at school Thursday morning. The students exchanged cups of hot chocolate for canned food items during the school's holiday food drive, filling one large trash can with canned food Thursday morning alone, draining one pot to fill a different one for others.

Students who brought in food were rewarded with cups of hot chocolate. Holiday greeting cards with candy canes could also be made for $1 with the donation going to the Blue Mountain Humane Society.
