During flex time on December 11, 2024, gifts from the school's angel trees were collected. Students and teachers began to pile gifts together by the band doc, in order to load up a truck that would take the gifts to their destination. “I like that I can pick out items I would have enjoyed as a child,” sophomore Grace Heftie said. “I try to imagine little kids’ reactions to the gifts given to them. I know there's people not as fortunate as me, so I really enjoy trying to help people that might not have much for Christmas.”

Sifting through racks of clothes sophomore Madelyn Palacios tries to come across a good find. Palacios goes to the thrift anytime she can since there are always new items coming in. “I think everyone should thrift because not only is it an eco-friendly alternative, but for the most part the clothes that you get, you know it’s because you like them, so it creates a sense of individuality,” Palacios said. “By getting something thrifting you're not just going along with the passing fads and not conforming to trends because they are popular at the time.”
