National Acts of Kindness Week

The High School Student Council celebrated National Random Acts of Kindness Week during the week of February 13. Thanks to Ms. Wright and the Art Club, a tree was created on which we hung acts of kindness that had been observed by staff and students during the week. We also posted Kindness Quotes throughout the school and on the TVs in the lobby and cafeteria to remind everyone how important the act of kindness is.

The High School Student Council would like to thank everyone who donated to their collection for Beverly’s Birthdays. Beverly’s Birthdays is an organization that provides birthday cheer for children experiencing homelessness and families in need. Their Beverly’s Babies division provides critical baby care items and life sustaining resources for expecting parents and new babies.

If you have donations of school supplies, hygiene products, or "like new" or "gently used" school uniform clothing appropriate for middle school or high school aged students, please contact us. Thank you!
