Character Day Families Help Our Community
Character day families from HHS/HFS have decided to do community service projects to keep the spirit of CD alive.
- One group is doing a drive for the animal shelter. They are collecting $, food, blankets, etc.
- A couple other groups are going to do coat drives.
Monroe Elementary School
 1. We are collecting canned goods and non-food items such as toiletries, diapers, etc. all the way up until Christmas break. We donate them to The Open Door Pantry. Attached picture is first graders Erika Scott and Aaron Gaytan.
2.  The Monroe students and staff had a month-long fundraiser for United Way. We raised $500.00 for this effort. One of the fundraisers was QUARTER HORSE day. Each staff member had a container with his or her name on it. Students could put quarters in any of the containers. The staff member with the most quarters donned a cowboy hat and bandana and rode a hobby horse throughout the day. The lucky winner was Mrs. Dennin-Mapes, who played along quite nicely giving the children much excitement.
3. Parents and staff are purchasing gifts for 21 needy families all in the Monroe area.
4. Parents, staff, and students donated pies from Market Day to The Community Meal Center in November.
5. We collected donations at our Veteran's Assembly to donate to Honor Flight, an organization that sends WWII Veterans to see their memorial in Washington, D.C. We are still collecting for this effort and plan to send the proceeds before Christmas.
6. Our students, parents, and staff participated in The Heart Walk and The Parachute Walk with our presence and a monitary donation to both.
Garfield Middle School
 The Garfield Middle School National Junior Honor Society helped our students remember and appreciate what we are thankful for during this Thanksgiving season. Students brainstormed with their advisory classes things that they are thankful for. Students and staff were reminded that we have a lot we can appreciate. As Mr. Bryson reminded the 8th graders during the Student of the Month Assembly, " Sometimes, we need to be thankful for things we don't have...things like cancer, diseases, etc." Students reflected on what they are thankful for by filling out a "Thankful Card" which was then posted by the NJHS on the "Garfield Is Thankful" wall.
Wilson Middle School
- Wilson National Junior Honor Society's Adopt a Family program is officially underway. With the help of the counselors and administration, Mrs. Walle, NJHS advisor, chooses special students from Wilson to adopt for the holiday season. The National Junior Honor Society students will go shopping for all of the children living in that household. None of the students know who the families are as they are given codes to identify who they are shopping for. Please help your community this holiday season and give to this worthy cause. All money can be turned into the office at Wilson up to Thursday December 4th. Please make any checks out to Wilson Middle School putting NJHS adopt a family in the memo. Thank you for your generosity and making a difference in another's life.
Hamilton High School
 Recently, (Nov. 12th) a group of art students gathered after school to make ornaments that will be sold at the Festival of Trees. The profits will go to benefit the Dove House of the YWCA which is a shelter for abused and battered women. Sue Samoviski, a retired art teacher came in to lead us in the activity. It was a wonderful afternoon and the students seemed to really enjoy doing something to help the community.
