What started as a monthlong service project turned into something truly incredible.
Wednesday morning, Whittier 6th-grade students presented a $9,138.28 donation to SunHive Collective after a month of fundraising, collecting supplies, and supporting the organization throughout April.
Teachers organized donation drives that collected seven large containers of school and craft supplies for SunHive. Students also created handmade blankets and Valentine’s Day cards, while teachers operated a “Snack Shack” during flex time to raise additional funds for the organization.
The effort was spearheaded by teachers Leslee Cunningham, Dondi Thompson and Reanna Dorsey.
We are proud of our students and staff for demonstrating the power of service, compassion and community partnership.
