Christmas arrived early for 30 scholars (and one newborn sibling) from 12 of our schools this evening! Ashley Furniture HomeStores operator Red Mountain Retail and United Way of Central Alabama gave these children new beds for Christmas, with Santa on hand to deliver presents. Their families also enjoyed dinner and a night at the McWane Science Center as part of the experience. 🎄 🎁
Scholars at Hayes K-8 received a donation of nearly 600 Childhood Hunger Initiative Power Packs (CHIPPS) from the Phi Iota Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha this week — helping to combat childhood hunger and ensure students have access to nutritious meals when school is not in session. 💚
In the true spirit of the season, the members went a step further to uplift hearts as well as households by ensuring that every scholar in the program had at least one gift to open on Christmas morning.
"These efforts reflect commitment to meeting both the immediate needs of our children and the emotional well-being that comes from feeling seen, valued, and supported," said PIO President (and BCS Communications Coordinator) Nikki Seaborn. "Through compassion, generosity, and collective action, Phi Iota Omega aims to make a meaningful impact— one scholar, one family, and one community at a time."
Huffman Academy turned into a winter wonderland last night for the school's Winter Block Party!
