Ms. Kemple and the her students in the High School Science National Honor Society completing the 2023 Shoebox Project. The goal was to pack 10 shoe boxes with books, footballs, small stuffed animals, highlighters, and anything else that would easily fit into a shoebox. They are then hand-delivering them to 3-8th grade classes in Newark for the holidays. This year they surpassed their goal and are sending 20 boxes! Great job!
