A warm shout out to this week's Beacons of the Week - the Upper School 9-12 Student Council - who successfully led a drive for Thanksgiving Baskets! VP of Community Service, junior Leon Bao, led the charge; and thanks to the generosity of many of our upper school students and teachers, 75 baskets were put together for Butler County MRDD and L.I.F.E. Food Pantry in Loveland. An extra shout out to Mr. Hilderbrand's class, who donated the most baskets filled not only with the necessities for a Thanksgiving dinner, but extras such as laundry detergent and paper products.
