At St. Mary's Academy, we take immense pride in our students not only for their academic achievements but also for their unwavering commitment to giving back to the community. This commitment was on full display recently as members of the Martin Luther King Chapter of the National Honor Society and the SMA Honor Society came together for a heartwarming initiative.
These compassionate and dedicated students decided to spread joy and sweetness to children in need by collecting donations of candy. Their goal? To support the Children's Hospital and the beloved Audubon Zoo's "Boo at the Zoo" event this year. And what they achieved was nothing short of remarkable.
With enthusiasm and a shared sense of purpose, these young philanthropists managed to gather an astounding 30,000 pieces of candy. This impressive feat showcases not only the generosity of St. Mary's Academy students but also their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others.
The donation of candy may seem small in the grand scheme of things, but it has a significant impact on the children who will enjoy these sweet treats. It is a testament to the power of collective effort and the belief that every contribution, no matter how small, can bring smiles and happiness to those in need.
