It is during this break that many families celebrate the holidays. As in any area there are many people who struggle to make ends meet and the holidays can be an especially hard time for them.
Homerooms adopt families that can use some help and hope during the holiday season.
Homerooms often talk about this being the best project all year because students are truly involved with helping others. It is very special to see everybody working together. The two most important needs for families seem to be in the areas of food and money. Homerooms donate items ranging from canned goods, packaged food, and toiletries, to money for gift certificates on food, holiday dinner makings, and small gifts. Homerooms wrap many of the gifts during their homeroom time.
