The sixth grade students at
Liberty raised more than
$500 at a bake sale
and raised an
additional
$300 through
a “coin war”
throughout the
entire elementary
school. The Liberty
Future Farmers of
America (FFA) also
raised $662 by holding
a pork chop dinner for
the “A New Day” project
sponsored by the Texas
FFA Association.
Olive C. Martin School
in Lake Villa District
41 was able to send a
truckload of supplies to
Port Lavaca, Texas in
response to the areas
ravaged by Hurricane
Harvey. Students were able to collect and send numerous supplies,
including non-perishable food items, pet food and grooming
products, as well as toiletries and school supplies.
The Knoxville Junior High
School Student Council
collected non-perishable
items at girls basketball
and boys football games to
donate to hurricane victims.
Student Council members
were in charge of the
committee that supervised
the collections. Students also
helped deliver the truckload of
items. It was a big success!
Highlands Elementary School in
La Grange hosted “Hats On For
Hurricane Relief.” For a donation to
hurricane relief, students and staff
could wear a favorite hat to school.
This school of 450 students raised
just over $1,017! In addition, the
Highlands Middle School Student
Council sponsored a drive that raised $2,000.
For both schools, the donated funds were
matched by corporations.
During the football game on Friday, September 8,
Hononegah and East High School cheerleaders
and the Hononegah dance teams formed a heart
on the field to signify strength and compassion
to those dealing with the wrath of Hurricane
Harvey. The “H” in the middle of the heart
symbolized the City of Houston. Additionally, the
IHSA requested donations from area Illinois high
schools to purchase new athletic uniforms and
equipment that were lost in the storm. A moment
of silence was given to express our thoughts and
prayers for all in Houston.
