Tinley Park HS Service Project Lifts Spirits of Others

NHS students spread happiness by writing out hundreds of inspirational post it notes and placing them on every locker in the school

On March 7th, members of the Tinley Park High School National Honor Society, along with their sponsor Ms. Dori Neven, spent a couple of hours on a service project with the goal of lifting up the spirits of other students at TPHS as well as members of the community. Students filled 300 small care packages for the homeless with items including socks, bottled water, and snacks. Each bag also included a handwritten note with words of encouragement. The bags will be donated to the Morning Star Mission in Joliet for distribution. TPHS members also spread happiness by writing out hundreds of inspirational post it notes and placing them on every locker in the school. Junior Jaydeep Pillai helped with the efforts. He stated, “Overall, it was a great experience and the next day I saw a lot of students' faces light up when they saw the message on their locker.”
