🎁✨ Join Us in Making the Season Brighter! ✨🎁
This year, our Youth Summit is proud to sponsor a Giving Tree to support families right here within our district. Each family shared wish-list items, and every gift has been lovingly placed on a tag.
When we return from Thanksgiving break, these tags will be hung on the Giving Tree in the High School lobby for students and staff to take and fulfill.
To ensure every gift is covered, we’re opening this opportunity to our entire Hurricane community. If you’d like to help:
🎄 Take a tag directly from the Giving Tree, or
📧 Email smitht@shasd.org to receive a virtual tag.
All gifts should be returned to Room 221 by Monday, December 15 so we can ensure timely delivery to our families.
Thank you, Hurricanes, for your kindness, generosity, and heart. Together, we can make this holiday season a little brighter for those who need it most. 💙💛

❤️ Hurricane Pride on Full Display! 💙💛
This morning, our SHAHS Student Council loaded up the van—with every inch packed full of donations collected at the Powder Puff Game—and delivered them to the Haven Food Pantry.
Pictured are Aisley Jenan and Joie Schoffstall, two of the amazing students who helped make this donation drive such a success. Their leadership and kindness truly embody what it means to be a Hurricane.
Thank you to everyone who donated, supported, and encouraged this effort. Because of you, local families will feel the warmth and generosity of our community this season.
💙💛 Once a Hurricane, Always a Hurricane.
