Projects:
The Homeless Awareness Sleep Out: To promote awareness for the homeless students of our school district, our team goes out and sleeps outside for a night. Through pledges and donations, we raise money for said students to help them buy their necessities. In 2012, we raised a total of $2,070 for the homeless in our district. This year, our eleventh year (2014-15), we will be giving a portion of our donations to the Zach Gordon Youth Center, so they may continue to serve meals to those who need it.
