💙📚 Giving back to our youngest learners!

On Friday, May 1, a group of NJHS students and officers visited Sycamore Park Elementary School to deliver the Busy Boxes they have been working hard to create. Students also spent time reading with and playing games alongside kindergarteners, making the visit extra special.

The Busy Boxes included school supplies and classroom tools such as markers, crayons, pencils, folders, notebooks, coloring books, reading books, and fidget tools for teachers to use with their students.

What began as a project started by Ava Morris last fall grew into a collaborative NJHS effort that successfully provided a Busy Box for every kindergarten classroom at SPES.

We are so proud of our students for demonstrating leadership, service, and kindness in our community! 👏
