Go Emma! Thank you and the rest of our executive board for providing leadership to our NHS chapter and our School community. 😃
"Let's Do Something"
Students Rally to Support Families After SNAP Disruptions
Meet Emma Tidd, NHS President. Emma and her peers are a powerful example of student leadership sparked by compassion. When Emma learned about the disruption to SNAP food assistance benefits and the challenges local families could face, she turned to her friend and fellow NHS member and said, "Let's do something." This inspired the National Honor Society, Youth Advisory Committee, and Student Council to move into swift action, collaborate, and organize a food drive to help Lakewood families enjoy a full Thanksgiving. They are united by one goal: "We want to make an impact and help families in our community to enjoy a good Thanksgiving," said Tidd. They are currently collecting non-perishable, non-expired food items, November 11 through November 21, all items will be sorted and delivered to Manna’s Market for local families. “We are building leadership and organizational skills through this experience, but more importantly we understand what it means and how rewarding it feels to give back and serve your community.” We invite you to support these dedicated students and help them meet their impactful food drive goal. We are proud of them for seeing a need, and taking the lead.
