SMS Students and Staff Make Donation to Charities

In April, the Builders Club sponsored a fun afternoon that benefitted a a good cause!

Throughout the week of April 8, Builders Club students collected personal care items such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, combs, soap, and deodorant to donate to local charities in need.

For every item brought in, students were given a raffle ticket providing the opportunity to “pie” a teacher in the face the Friday before break. The afternoon of April 12 kicked off with some friendly, yet competitive games, but ended with some brave teacher volunteers taking a pie to the face!

Amidst the Friday activities, it was determined that the Solvay Middle School students accrued a whopping 200 personal care items! These donations were boxed up and sent to the Rescue Mission of Syracuse (which will provide products to the homeless shelters), as well as to the McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center. A big shout out (and thank you) to all the teachers that willingly got pied, as well as Mr. Kulibert for making the awesome stand, and Mr. Gottlieb for allowing us to hold the event.

Exceptional job, Solvay Middle School! Thank you students and staff!

pie incoming!
