The smell of baked goods wafted through the third-floor hallway. Oreos dipped in chocolate, brownies, and decorated cupcakes were just some of the options available as students excitedly lined up with cash in hand.

Each year, CHS holds a fundraiser in which each forum competes to raise the most money for Food Gatherers. Each forum works together to plan events and raise money as a group. The Qu forum decided to plan a bake sale to sell pastries to students in the halls to be held on November 8, during lunch.

Janaki Nallamothu is a member of the Qu forum, and worked to help plan the event. She enjoyed setting up the baked goods table and seeing all the amazing pastries made by her peers.

“I really like the chocolate-covered Oreos because they are very intricate,” Nallamothu said. “They look too good to eat.”

Community High’s annual Food Gatherers competition is a great way to raise money for those in need, give back to the community, and bring awareness to the matter.
