BRHS Student Council offers Holiday Help for Students in need

The student council group "Helping Hands"  has been organizing gift boxes for 25 high school students in need.  

The boxes contain various gift items ranging from clothing to food items to certificates for hair cuts.

An anonymous member of the Lion's Club donated $2,500 to initiate a gift-giving program.The student council members came up with the name "Helping Hands".  This program will benefit at-risk BRHS students identified through the schools guidance office.

The group is very thankful that the donor provided the funds to start this program and would be willing to keep this going every year if the donations continue.They would like to see this program spread throughout the community. Area businesses have also given donations or lowered their prices to contribute to the program.
