"They're excited:" Students from top schools sort PB&J for Feeding America's "PB&J Challenge"

MILWAUKEE -- It was peanut butter and jelly time at Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin on Monday, November 16th.

Local students spent time sorting through more than 15,000 pounds of peanut butter and jelly.

It all came from Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin's "PB&J Challenge."

23 area schools competed by donating peanut butter and jelly.

Volunteers for "sorting day" Monday came from the top schools.

"They're excited, and we call it the PB&J Challenge because students have a little more competition than adults and to know that the top four schools have the opportunity to be here to pack the PB&J that will be distributed throughout eastern Wisconsin -- our 36 counties, it's a pretty big deal," Rayna Andrews with Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin said.

This is the 13th year of the donation drive.

The top four schools who donated also won tickets to go to a Bucks game in December and will be recognized at the game.
