About:
The Andover Huskies made Homecoming Week about more than school spirit, using the celebration as an opportunity to support others and make a meaningful community impact.
During the week’s Powderpuff event, eight students helped run the collection, while approximately 200 students and parents attending the event contributed to the effort. In just one hour, the group raised $800 and collected an impressive 425 pounds of food.
The donated food was given to the ACBC Food Shelf, helping support local individuals and families in need. The $800 raised will benefit Hope4Youth while also helping fund future student service projects.
The effort brought students, families, and the school community together around a shared goal while showing how school traditions can also become meaningful opportunities for service and giving back.
The group also held its kickoff meeting, welcoming students and preparing for the year ahead. Those who missed the first meeting will have another opportunity to get involved at the next gathering on October 8, when students will take part in their first service project.
With a strong start to the year, the Andover Huskies are already showing how teamwork, school spirit, and community service can go hand in hand.
