Sole2Soul Mission Day

Piedmont High School, NC

Council members and SGA officers went to a Sole2Soul Mission Day to give out new socks and shoes to the surrounding community. Families received a sit-down meal and clothing, and were able to take home food for their families. Students sat down with the children, talked to them, and handed out new shoes. Our student government and council members enjoyed being able to help out in the community.

Dress Down Days 2017

Hilltop Country Day School, NJ

Every Friday, Hilltop Country Day School holds a dress-down day and charges $2 to participate. This year we decided the proceeds would go to the March of Dimes. Since Hilltop has a school uniform, the entire student body and teachers look forward to the opportunity to wear more casual clothing. Last year, we were able to donate $1500 to our chosen charity, The Seeing Eye, which trains and provides rescue dogs for the visually impaired.
