‘TIS THE SEASON
FOR COMMUNITY AND VOLUNTEERISM IN OUR SCHOOLS
During the holiday season, our public schools are more involved than ever in donating time and resources to charitable causes. The sense of community is more meaningful than ever, and local volunteers have given their hearts to so many amazing projects.
These school communities served meals and books, collected toys and supplies, brought smiles to nursing home residents, and worked on community improvement projects. Check out how some of our generous students and schools are giving back!
The cold and rain didn’t stop Matthey Middle School and Southside High School volunteers from helping out at the Kym Rapier Food Pantry. Together they served over 2,700 of our Southside ISD neighbors!
