The members of the National Honor Society (NHS) at Mount Pleasant High School held a food drive in conjunction with its induction ceremony. Admission to the induction ceremony was free, but attendees were asked to bring a food staple such as canned goods or boxed items. In addition to the items collected that night, NHS members donated hams and turkeys to be added to each basket. In all, the NHS officers were able to create seven baskets that will be shared with families who have students at MPHS. The families were identified by Communities in Schools (CIS) who will assist with delivery.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first of many years to come of providing for the needs of our community,\u201d said MPHS NHS Advisor, David Clark. \u201cWe need to take care of our own. I would also like to say a special thank you to CIS for identifying the families and helping deliver the baskets.\u201d
\nA letter of blessing was also placed in each basket that read, \u201cA special blessing has been said over this basket for the food and for you and your family. May your family be truly blessed beyond measure this holiday season.\u201d<\/p>\n
