GHC Starts a Food Waste Production Program in Their School

In February Gillingham Charter started a Food Waste Reduction Program in their school. Youth Summit students placed a bucket which was designated for unwanted food, as well as paper napkins in classrooms. They would then take whatever was stored in the bucket and place it in a composter to then be turned into nutrient-rich soil for the environment.

Thank you to everyone associated with this project at Gillingham for taking the next step for helping our environment!

STC Students Give Back During the Holiday Season

STC North and South students volunteered at local grocery stores such as Boyer’s Food Markets, Redner’s Warehouse Markets, and Bg’s Value the day before their Thanksgiving Holiday Break as they did for the past few years. They did this as part of the “STC Gives Back” initiative. Students helped the stores in various ways such as bag groceries, deliver items to cars, and return shopping carts, while displaying the holiday pride to shoppers and putting a smile on their faces.

We love hearing these stories of what local schools do for our communities!

Shenandoah Valley - Mini-THON 2019

Shenandoah Valley - Mini-THON 2019

Last summer, students at Shenandoah Valley decided to get together and begin planning and fundraising for a Mini-THON. The group began with five students and by our event on March 23, 2019, approximately one hundred students came together to help fight pediatric cancer. Our initial fundraising goal was $5,000 which meant we had to come up with several fundraising ideas to reach this goal.
