Oak Forest HS Sponsoring Clothing Drive

Oak Forest High School Business Professionals of America (BPA) students are collecting clothing for families in need this winter. BPA Officers Taylor Ferralez (Historian), Payton Giuseffi (Treasurer), Magdalene Smith-Stephney (President), Hanny McMaster (Vice-President), and Brianna Mitchell (Secretary) display some of the clothing that the BPA class has already collected for this project.

Smith-Stephney said, “We thought it was perfect timing as our weather is going to change and we wanted to do something for our community, so we teamed up with Together We Cope and decided to collect clothing for members of our community. When we have finished, we are going to bring it to them.” Mitchell said, “We do several service projects a year. After our first BPA competition in January, we are going to Feed My Starving Children to work there.”

BPA is sponsored by Ms. Connie McSweeney. McSweeney said, “Magdalene [Smith-Stephney] thought of this service project for BPA.”

If you would like to contribute clothing to the BPA Clothing Drive, please bring clean clothing to the foyer of Oak Forest High School and deposit them into the receptacles that are there until the end of November.
