their members lost in 2012. KLFS is very
appreciative of their support.

Our volunteers will be outside the
L.C.B.O. and selected stores throughout
the City of Kawartha Lakes on SATURDAY, MAY 25TH asking for much needed

Getting rid of your pocket
change will certainly lighten
your load and help needy families.

The 11th annual Pasta Challenge
And the winner is…..
I.E. Weldon Secondary School
I.E. Weldon Secondary School won the 11th Annual Pasta
challenge by contributing 2,442 boxes of macaroni and
cheese. In an incredibly close contest with Haliburton
Highlands Secondary School, I.E. Weldon also won the
Trillium Lakelands District School Board trophy.

The challenge pits the four Kawartha Lakes high schools
against each other to see which can collect the most boxed
macaroni and cheese dinner in two weeks for the Kawartha
Lakes Food Source.
Results are adjusted by population to allow for a fair
comparison between larger and smaller schools. Students at
IEWSS (1)collected 2.099 boxes per student while LCVI (2)
students—last year’s winner—collected 1.8137 boxes per
student. FFSS (3) came in at 1.2944 and St. Thomas Aquinas
Catholic collected 269 boxes. Overall, the four schools
amassed an impressive 5,344 boxes of macaroni and cheese,
which will be distributed on a fair share basis to the Food
Source’s member agencies, allowing them to spend their
limited cash on other items needed by the families they
serve.
The eleventh annual Pasta Challenge ran from Feb. 11 to Feb.
25. The winning school receives a trophy — topped with a
bright red tomato — to display for a year.
CONGRATULATIONS
And many thanks!
