Treats for Troops & Girls on the Run 5 K, Huge Successes

In late October, we challenged students to donate any unwanted Halloween candy to our Treats for Troops campaign. Treats for Troops puts together and sends care packages to troops around the globe. Our goal was to donate 2 lbs. of candy per house for a total of 12 lbs. for the school. We figured students would bring in a few pieces of candy that they did not want. We could not have been more incorrect! Students far exceeded our expectations by donating 132 lbs. of candy total. We are so proud of the generosity of our students. Check out the video below to see our impressive donation! A special thanks to the UPS store in Stone Mill Plaza for giving us a generous discount on shipping costs.

Equally as success was the Girls on the Run 5K on Saturday, November 19th. The girls and their advisors have been preparing all Fall for the run while working to develop social, emotional, and physical health. These girls are amazing!
