Grayslake North High School students have successfully collected 21,000 pounds of food to give back to food pantries around their surrounding communities.

By nightfall, however, conditions were cold and wet from spotty rain showers and the temperature had plunged at least 30 degrees. "You're not going to get a good night's sleep," teacher Chris Kubic advised his students. It was for the best, though, said senior Emily Pahl.
