Shaker Junior High School students were recognized for their good deeds on Friday, Dec. 22 with a school-wide "Hat Day."

Earlier in the week, the Builders Club wanted to collect 400 hats, gloves and mittens to donate to the Salvation Army — within four days. The students, teachers, staff, and parents quickly went into action.

Builders Club members created a bulletin board and signs advertising the event.

Each day Dr. Moore updated the student body of the totals. On the first day the school collected 71 items; the second day they collected 150; and by the last day they exceeded their total goal of 400 items!

"The kids were really enthusiastic," said Builders Club co-advisor and Spanish teacher Stephanie Majewski. "I think they understand that giving to others is just as important."

Thanks to the other Builders Club co-advisors Staci O'Donnell and Holly Lindhurst.
