SMITHFIELD — Students at Sky View High School are getting a head start on the season of giving. In response to SNAP benefits ending for many families, they’re turning their annual food drive into a friendly and impactful competition. “It started with kind of just competitiveness, wanting to beat the senior class and all the other classes,” Sky View High School Junior Hyrum Pugmire said. “But as we started to get all the juniors together, things kind of changed a little bit, and we realized how much good that we could actually do with this.” Each year, Sky View students face off in a battle of the classes to collect the most food donations. This year, the competition was about more than just bragging rights.
