OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) – It was all hands on deck during second hour for the student council at Putnam City North High School while they packed up boxes filled with a full Thanksgiving meal.
“There doesn’t always have to be a reward for you to give back,” said Joanna Alkannama, a junior at PC North.

Signage hangs in the PC North cafeteria defining “Compassion” and “Volunteerism.” That’s exactly what the student council stuffed boxes with.
“Huge team effort, the whole school came together,” said Julie Lulla, the student council teacher.
The Thanksgiving Box Project is a yearly tradition for the PC North Panthers.
This year, 37 families of faculty and students will have a traditional Thanksgiving meal, thanks to student donations.
“The turkey, mac and cheese, potatoes,” said Neba.
“I love some mashed potatoes,” said Alkannama.
“We have corn bread,” said one of the students while packing the boxes.
To make this project a success, the students had to rely on new skills.
