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.”
