About:
For the past 2 years the boys and girls bowling teams have brought in many items for the New Horizons club here at the high school.
New Horizons has adopted a sister school in the Dominican Republic. At Christmas time they send supplies to the sister school of items we take for granted. Supplies such as, soap, shampoo, femine products, most any type of toiletries, along with socks, school supplies, games, books, etc.
Both the girls and boys bowling teams brought in bags of things or made monetary donations to offset the cost of shipping these items as their community service project.
It has been both rewarding and satisfying to not only help our sister school in the Dominican Republic but,also for them to work together with their peers in our own school community.
I have also included a photo of ALL the shoeboxes left to ship(one shipment already went out before Christmas, incase anybody would like to make a monetary donation to New Horizons to help offset the cost of shipping.
