Bullis Fills Manna Truck with 1,367 Boxes of Cereal

With need so great, that’s a week’s worth.

Twenty-six 4th grade students at Bullis received hands-on knowledge April 17 of how powerful a group can be if each one just gives a little. They were responsible for loading 1,367 boxes of cereal donated by the students and families of Bullis onto the Manna truck — and those 1,367 boxes nearly filled the truck to capacity. When working out the math, the students realized that it only required each Bullis student to bring in two boxes of cereal to fill the truck and stock the Manna shelves. “That’s enough cereal to feed my family forever,” one student said. “How long do you think it will last at Manna?” asked their teacher, Kate Powell. “Maybe a week — or maybe two,” the students answered. Manna’s Development Manager Allison Krumsiek Anderson verified that the amount of donated cereal would last at least a week. “We give out 192 boxes of cereal every day,” she said. “We rely on community donations to help us provide 20,000 pounds of food a day. It is so important to provide breakfast to families. Studies show that kids who don’t eat breakfast can’t learn. They have better behavior and can function much better, particularly when the breakfast has high nutritional value. We are truly grateful to Bullis for such a huge donation.”

Young Speaks about Civil Rights, King’s Legacy

“A Continuing Legacy” speaking series came to McLean Community Center’s theater.

HALFWAY THROUGH, the former U.N. ambassador opened the event up to questions from audience members. Chuck Smith of Reston asked how he thought President Obama could deal with vast income inequality within the U.S. due to a majority of the income being owned by the super rich. Young responded that it was difficult for any leader, himself included, to deal with 1 percent controlling all of the country’s money, but that the president could still work to enable the poor with economic opportunity. He cited his own history of using international investment to fight poverty, and said that the same approach could be applied to African countries with slow economies and high poverty.

Home Tour Shows Life on the Edge

This year’s Reston Homes Tour featured the usual assortment of houses featuring exceptional architecture, interior design and other unique designs, but this year’s theme also focused on the adjacent areas. “Living on the Edge,” the theme, was designed to highlight how various Reston residents are making do while living near some kind of community feature.
