Solvay High School holds fundraisers for hurricane victims

Solvay High School is no stranger to giving back to the community. From St. Baldrick’s fundraisers to community dinners, SHS is constantly finding ways to give back and show their support. In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and Irma, SHS has once again stepped up to help, raising a total of $745 for the hurricane victims.

During the first month of school, SHS held two different fundraisers to benefit the hurricane victims. The first fundraiser was a grade level penny war. That fundraiser in the first week alone raised $257. The winner of the fundraiser – the senior class – was given a pizza party donated by Cams Pizzeria.

The next fundraiser for hurricane relief was a gift basket raffle. SHS faculty and staff generously donated a total of 11 gift baskets to be raffled off. SHS students, faculty, and staff all purchased tickets for the gift baskets, collecting a total of $488 for hurricane relief. The winners of the baskets were announced at the SHS pep rally.  
 
Once again, the SHS students, faculty, and staff have shown the surrounding community a little bit of what makes Solvay special.
