The holiday season is finally here and there is so much to do for the season of giving! The holiday season is a time to give back, and many school clubs and organizations are coming together and doing things to support many charities.
There are many clubs and groups in WHBHS and everyone is doing so much this season. National Honor Society is sponsoring a food drive to benefit the East End Farm Workers Association. Bring in any canned, non-perishable food items and drop them off in the boxes around the school.
Key-club is doing their annual lobby decorating on December 8th. They decorate the lobby in the spirit for Christmas, Kwanza and Hanukah. Everyone is welcome to help. Key-club is also partaking in a drive for Toys for Tots. Please drop off un-opened toys in the box in the front lobby. The charity is not decided yet but each group will be asked what organization or charity they would like to donate to. Friends for Friends is also helping decorate the lobby for this holiday season.
Youth to Youth is selling wreaths. The wreaths are hand-made by the members and they will be sold for $20. The money collected will go to a charity, which is not decided yet.
The Rotary Interact Club is collecting baking supplies such as brownie mix, cake mix, cookie mix, also frosting, sprinkles, and candles for Birthday Bags for the Food Pantry. Birthday Bags supplies families with everything they need to make treats for a Birthday. The collection box will be in the front lobby. They are also Christmas shopping for Adopt a Family and supporting the Camp Pa-Qua-Tuck Light Show; it’s $15 per car from 6-9pm on 12/16/-12/18; 12/27-12/30. Please come!
Student Government is doing Change Wars for Adopt a Family. Every class should donate money and the class that raises the most money will win an ice-cream social. The homeroom that raises the most money will earn a bagel breakfast.
I urge everyone should try and get involved and do as much as you can. Every group is welcome to new members and people willing to help them this holiday season. Every charity deserves to be benefited. Lets do our best to give back to charity this holiday season!
