TWO Academies' eighth grade students have been learning more about community service and reaching out to others who are in need. After having a guest speaker from
The Hannah House , they became super motivated and organized a Coat Drive, which was held Monday, January 13, 2014, through Monday, January 27, 2014. Items such as hats, gloves/mittens, scarves, etc., were collected and given to Ms. Robinson, Dent Middle School Social Worker, to support the less fortunate students in our school/community who are in need. A portion of the items were also donated to The Hannah House in downtown Columbia. We received an overwhelming response of approximately 150 coats, as well as a few hats, gloves, and scarves, that were sprinkled in! The students were very glad that they could contribute to such a wonderful cause and they worked especially hard in organizing the event!
