  2. What is it? Holiday sharing was started almost 20 years ago. Holiday Sharing is the “adoption” of families in the community in need during the holiday season. Through donations, fundraisers, staff members, students, and community businesses, the National Honor Society is able to provide the necessary assistance to area families to make their holiday a little brighter. As a community and school effort, this program has grown to assist many families in need (52 this year) as well as worthwhile organizations.

  3. Over 6,000 non-perishable food items were donated • Thank you to Greenfield Middle School, Edgewood, Elm Dale, Glenwood, and Maple Grove Elementary Schools. • Each family was given several boxes of food.

  4. Over 6,000 pieces of clothing were donated • Families were able to go through the clothing and select what they wanted.

  5. Over 1,700 new and used toys were donated • The high school 1st hour classes were very generous this year.
