Students also held a gift drive and collected more than 40 gifts benefitting the Make-A-Wish® Foundation, as well as children who are residing at Ronald McDonald House chapters in Georgia while undergoing treatment.

Through their efforts, students learned the importance of helping others, especially during the holiday season.
