CLUB PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
The New Heights Charter School, Brockton Interact Club
In the spirit of giving, the students and staff of New Heights Charter School of Brockton have once again demonstrated their dedication to making a difference.Throughout December, our school community generously donated new toys to support families in need this holiday season through our second annual Stuff-A-Bus event. On December 13th, our Interact Club members worked together to gather over 500 gifts, packing a school bus full of boxes filled with toys. The gifts were then delivered to My Brother’s Keeper (MBK), a local community partner located in Easton and serving all of Massachusetts, to ensure that children in our area experience the joy of the holidays. Our Interact volunteers were able to shop for local families in the MBK warehouse and wrap all their gifts to be delivered by MBK's amazing volunteer staff. This incredible effort exemplifies the compassion and commitment of our students, who continue to make a positive impact on our community.
