Helping Hand

Hi, I'm the college adviser this year at Montague High School.

This past year I have worked with all of the Seniors to help them develop their post-secondary plans. We have students that will join the workforce after graduation, some students are going into trade programs, many are heading to community college, and multiple will start off at 4-year institutions. They have high hopes for the future and I have no doubt that they will make an impact wherever they go. We are blessed at the high school to have lots of community support and that's where you come in. On May 3rd this year we will be hosting a Decision Day event to celebrate the choices the Seniors have made. Students that are low-income often have difficulty moving off to either start a job or college program. They lack the necessities that will help them succeed in a new place.

We are looking for donations of:

• Toothbrushes
• Toothpaste
• Shampoo & Conditioner
• Bath Towels
• Gift Cards
• Laundry Detergent
• Dryer Sheets
• Shower Caddy
• Hand Soap/Hand Sanitizer
• Toilet Paper
• Clorox Wipes
• Tissues
• Cleaning Supplies
• School Supplies

There are baskets in the narthex for collections if you can help. I will return to collect the baskets on Thursday, May 2nd. This will be a difference maker for a Montague Senior and I can't thank you enough for helping with this!

Thank You
  Grace Kool
