Jefferson Service Award Winner-February

Congratulations to Shasta Hudson, a sophomore at Pioneer High School, for winning the Jefferson Award in February.  She, along with two other students, organized a school wide blanket drive for San Jose Family Shelter.  She realized after a fundraising dinner that the homeless needed more help than she knew. Shasta and the other girls collected 109 blankets. “It was a priceless feeling to know that giving to the people in need really improved their lives, even if it was in a small way.” Shasta also said “Although running a blanket drive seems like a lot of hard work, all of the time put in really paid off.” 

Jefferson Service Award Winner - January

Congratulations to Jefferson Service Award winner for the month of January, Gianna Zamora. Gianna, a Sophomore at Pioneer High School, along with two other friends, organized a school-wide blanket drive for San Jose Family Shelter. She says she was inspired by hearing stories of their circumstances once they returned to the streets and knew something had to be done to improve their conditions. After creating banners, fliers, making a webpage, and delivering small speeches, Gianna and the other student leaders collected 109 blankets. The experience of coordinating this blanket drive has further developed my leadership skills," she also commented that the blanket drive "has proved that any student can make a real difference in the community" and has inspired her to seek future philanthropic opportunities.
