Season of Giving Success

Student Council coordinates two major giving drives for the holiday season, held on different Fridays in November: a monetary collection for a toy drive and a food drive.

As a school we raised $4,580.00 for the St. Lawrence Haven Toy Drive. Student Council members will shop for toys to donate to St. Lawrence Haven, where families will then "shop" at St. Lawrence Haven for Christmas presents for their children at a heavily discounted price.



The second Season of Giving collection resulted in 7,350 non-perishable food items donated to the St. Francis Center in McArthur, Ohio.
