This season, schools across our district embraced the spirit of giving through a variety of initiatives that made a real difference in our community. Clothing drives were underway, collecting jackets, sweaters, scarves, gloves and socks to help keep families comfortable during the winter months. 

Food drives at multiple schools supported the local food bank, ensuring thousands of community members have access to nutritious meals year-round. One school turned creativity into kindness by hosting an event where students purchased donated items for loved ones, with proceeds funding food programs. At another school, leadership students launched a sock drive for a local organization that supports those experiencing difficult times, ensuring this often-overlooked item reaches those who need it most.

Together, these efforts reflected a shared commitment to looking out for others and responding to real needs in practical ways. Across schools, learners saw how planning, cooperation and empathy can extend into the wider community. The season became a reminder that generosity does not have to be grand to matter, and that collective care can leave a lasting impact close to home.
