Hillcrest HS Collects 'Treats for the Troops'
A variety of treats were collected for unit on their third deployment to the Middle East
The Hillcrest High School junior class collected food, games, and Christmas wishes for the soldiers in the United Arab Emirates, during their “Treats for the Troops” fund drive. Individuals and classrooms participated throughout the school and district.
“My dad served in the Army and I wanted to give back,” said Karl Johnson, a senior in Mrs. Stephanie Carrero’s class. Their class collected granola bars, cereal bars, candy, mints and word games for the troops.
“I want to thank everyone that participated. My son-in-law and his unit will be thankful for the treats as they continue their third deployment in the Middle East. Thank you Hillcrest and District 228, your generosity knows no bounds,” said Ms. Caroline Snyder, Junior Class Advisor.
