The food drive for Second Harvest is ending on Friday! We already sent three large food drive boxes to Second Harvest. PLEASE contribute early and often!!!
On Tuesday, November 22nd, we will travel to Second Harvest to help stock shelves and assist with other projects. WE NEED DRIVERS!! Moving 104 students is a Herculean task!! At this point, we are short 10 drivers!!! The trip departs HDS at 8:30. Half the students will go to Second Harvest and half will go to Fort Jackson. At 10:00 the groups will switch locations. All students will return to Fort Jackson to be picked up by their parents at 11:30. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT BY SPENDING AN EXCITING MORNING WITH OUR STUDENTS!!!
