25 Days of Kindness

 


Thank you for the students and families who were able to spread kindness during November.  Both the Gratitude Bags for the Bus Drivers and Shoeboxes for the Homeless were deeply appreciated.  If you have completed shoeboxes and need someone to pick them up, email Advisor Mrs. Vogel or President Skylar Denyes.  We can pick up this week.


Looking for other ways to spread kindness prior to winter break.  Check out the 25 Days of Kindness Christmas challenge.

Gratitude Gift Bags

 



We are incredibly grateful for our young people and their families.  National Junior Honor Society student leaders, Ava Leonardis and Alexis VanZweden, led the charge to create Gratitude Gift Bags for our Bus Drivers.  Kelly Burke, Griffin Damuth, and Ava Leonardis donated their lunch time to put the bags together and deliver.   Thank you for making this happen!
