Students at Copper Hills High School are beginning this holiday season by giving back, hoping to make a difference in the lives of more than 6,000 elementary school children and their families. The high school students do a month-long charity fundraiser every December, Paws for a Cause, and last year they raised enough money to take care of younger kids this Christmas.
Today the high school students traveled from one elementary school to another surprising principals and the younger students with checks for $3,500. It is money to be used on things like warm winter coats for kids, mittens, socks, and food to tide families over during the winter break. Copper Hills High cheerleaders, mascots and administrators joined the student body leaders in presenting the checks.
Elementary school principals thanked the high school students for their outpouring of love and support, especially this time of year when the needs are so great.
Way to go Copper Hills High School! Keep up the great work taking care of your community.
