Students make a difference for those in need

“We are here to gather the school to make a difference in people’s lives and give them hope and happiness,” April Jingco(10) said.

She was in charge of the Crane Making event that took place in McKinley’s high school cafeteria. Make A Difference Day is a day for people from all walks of life to get together and help those in need.

Whether it be through food drives or many other small projects, Make A Difference Day provides people with the opportunity to better their community and the lives of those around them. Along with the crane-making event, MHS also had events to help those in need. There was the holiday canned food drive, Goodwill Clothing Drive, and Tigers ‘R’ Us, collecting items for Shriner’s Hospital.
