Hats off for school-wide service

On Monday Jan. 30, students were given the opportunity to participate in school-wide service during the “H” day community period, instead of a typical assembly. Students made hats to be donated to local pediatric cancer patients. The experience enabled advisories to come together to achieve a common goal and grow closer as a group, and consequently grow closer together as a school. More frequent opportunities of this nature would not only bolster the image of the school, but help fulfill the mission statement of “developing young men and women of moral integrity, and preparing them to serve responsibly in shaping a more just and compassionate global society.” In the end, an estimated 325 hats were made and donated.
