It was a labor of love for students and staff at Fort Herriman Middle School as they went all out in an effort to raise money for their holiday charity. This year Fort Herriman partnered with Mountain Ridge High School fundraising for “Hearts Knit Together,” a nonprofit organization that delivers much-needed personal items to those escaping domestic violence, sexual abuse, or war.
Student Body Officers, along with their advisor, Ms. Feist, and administrator Mrs. Jackson, planned a week of lunchtime snack sales, a “Be the Change Day” where students donated change, spirit days, and much more. They also held a community event which included food trucks, a craft and treat market with items made by Diamondback students and teachers. The event included an appearance by Santa, Miss Herriman and Herriman police, and a number of performances by student choirs.
Fort Herriman raised $8,459.45 for “Hearts Knit Together,” and collected a variety of items for the charity as well.
Congratulations to Fort Herriman students, faculty, staff, and the community for coming together to support those in need.
