Everything Burns launches its first high school chapter at West Johnston High School in Benson, NC! Here is what faculty sponsor, Elizabeth Bonilla, has to say about the chapter’s first project…

“Right now we are working on helping a kid’s family from our school, where both parents have lost their jobs in the last couple of months and they cant even afford to pay their electric bill. We are working on collecting cleaning supplies, clothes and money to help them out.” The students are also eliciting the help of their fellow classmates by doing “…a spin on the angel tree,” as Ms. Bonilla explains “…but…[with] turkey feathers, because the family needs some items as soon as we can …provide them.”
