SW Charter has has three wonderful community service projects going on right now.
Today we’re featuring Janus Youth Programs:
It’s the time of year, once again, that 6th grader, Hattie Kirby, organizes her charitable drive for Janus Youth Services. Hattie is collecting new and gently used goods and money for runaway and homeless youth. If you’d like to donate to her drive there’s a collection box at school in the hallway between Matt and Paul’s classrooms (please put cash donations in an envelope labeled ‘Hattie Kirby/Janus’ & place it in the lock box at Kathy’s desk).
Thank you for helping Hattie help other kids her age.
