In November, SBS students proudly participated in Yankees HOPE Week (Helping Others Persevere and Excel). Sponsored by the SBS PTO, students collected donations of diapers, books, puzzles, games, and toys, and took part in meaningful service activities like writing letters to veterans and making bagged lunches for those in need. Swipe to see the results of their efforts!
Congratulations to our SBS students for their kindness, generosity, and commitment to helping others! 👏💙

Our CMS 7th graders continue to show what it means to give back. During December’s extended homeroom, students sorted donated socks and wrote heartfelt messages on handmade tags. Students helped coordinate the pickup with Bridges Outreach—and together, they donated 443 brand-new socks. What an amazing effort!
