After presenting tie blankets for Project Linus to Senior Class Board as a service activity, senior Alaina Anderson cuts fabric for her peers to make into a comforting gift for a child in need. Anderson has donated her time to the charity since the age of 7 and frequently introduces others to the volunteer opportunity. “Partnering with Project Linus allowed us the opportunity to make more blankets that I could on my own,” Anderson said. “I like to get more people involved so that they can have an impact on their community too.”

Sophomore Sophia Mason decided to dedicate her Sunday morning on Oct. 10 to be a personal shopper for Operation School Bell (OSB). She spent the four hours keeping track of families’ balances and helping them find affordable clothing for their children. “I decided to get involved with OSB because I needed community service hours and my grandma has been a part of the organization for years and has always told me I should get involved with it,” Mason said. “I will continue volunteering because it is a good cause and I enjoyed being a shopping assistant because I enjoy helping people.”
