It's part of a campaign to ensure teachers and students are prepared for the upcoming Colorado Measures of Academic Success testing. 

"I'd say over 100 students who regularly receive food bags that they take home about every week and that's for a lot of our families. We have families who live nearby and can't travel, so they walk over for the pantry," said Yale Elementary School principal Ashley Bryant.
