Hillcrest HS Collecting Treats for the Troops

Donations accepted through December 12

Sergeant Zach Wiesner is on his third tour of duty in the United Arab Emirates near Kuwait. He left Ft. McCord in Seattle in August and is not expected back until May. He also left his 2-week old son. There are 20 men in his unit and they don’t receive packages very often.

The Hillcrest High School Junior Class would like to sponsor these 20 brave men as they celebrate the holidays away from their families. Please consider participating or asking students to participate. Any items will be appreciated. The drive ends December 12 to ensure the donations arrive to the troop in time for the holidays.

Please contact Ms. Caroline Snyder at csnyder@bhsd228.com for additional information.
