Earlier this month, Interact and FCA students had the opportunity to volunteer at a Phil’s Friends cancer care kit packing event held at Lincoln-Way East. Students wrote cards, decorated boxes, and filled them with personal care items for people undergoing cancer treatment. It’s amazing how much of a difference you can make with just paper, markers, and a little bit of time. Interested in joining Interact? The next meeting is today (Thursday 3/12) after school in C113. See Mrs. Borchert with any questions. #GetInvolved
