Photos: A.Ihlenfeld, 11th Grader, shared the following: "Today, Tuesday May 12, 2020 I went to a cafe and got food, soup, and smoothies. We brought it to my local dire department. There are only 2 people there today as our fire house is a volunteer based place. And I got a picture with one of them." Great job, A! Way to give back to our hometown heroes! :)

Photo: Mr. Stephen Hodges, 8th Grade History Teacher, recently joined up with his church and his son’screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cqXrrFUvWSs boy scout troop to fill a cart for their local pantry. The local water bills have exploded recently in their usually upper middle class town- and their local pantries have been decimated by the needs of families who suddenly cannot afford all their bills. He plans to fill another cart soon.
Junior, H. Hall and her grandparents donated food and blankets to their local animal shelter. H. also spent some time with the animals while she was there. Thank you for spreading hope and kindness, H!

Mrs. Kristin Spinetti, Family Engagement Coordinator and Mrs. Haylee Crecco, 2nd Grade Lead Teacher, along with the 7 Mindsets Committee at OHVA created the "Hope and Kindness Iniatitive" at OHVA!
