Submitted photo Thirty-nine Applewild School sixth-graders participated in a hunger banquet at the school to help raise awareness on world hunger. Some students, representing those most unfortunate in the world, sat on the floor and were served a meal of rice. A “middle” group sat in chairs and ate rice and salad. The “lucky” students sat a table and could eat their fill of rice, salad, and stew. The yearly event is held after the school’s Oxfam Fast, held the week before Thanksgiving and is coordinated by teacher Todd Goodwin.
