Warm weather is just around the corner! The class of 2026 is operating a drive accepting any items that could be used to welcome in the spring. Gather new or gently used raincoats, umbrellas, sunglasses, and hats--or donate some new bottles of bug spray or sunscreen to our bin in the MHS Lobby. The drive is operating from now through May 1, so please join us in celebrating the end of winter by helping us make a difference!
