Student Council and JCS Outreach Council

The Councils are teaming up this year to bring the Raven donation tree to our school!

We are collecting giftable items listed on the Hull Services Website. These will go to Hull Services to help in their mission of ensuring children in need receive a gift this holiday season, regardless of their families’ financial circumstances. We hope that you can help this fundraiser by donating items to the Main office from now until December 17.  

Thank you for your support this holiday season!

The passion, dedication, and countless hours each member poured into this project truly shone through, filling the audience with joy and excitement.
