KMHS students answer the call for help

Students raised $1,214.34 during their second Annual Kings Mountain High School

Current Events fundraiser benefiting Ukraine and earthquake relief in Turkey and Syria.

Fundraising surpassed the goal of $1,000 thanks to generous donations from the student body, faculty, staff, and substitute teacher Mr. Lockhart and his congregation at Ellis Chapel.

The project was spear- headed by Current Events, an elective class taught by Sharon Lease. The Student Participation Organization and Math Club helped raise the money.

Students sacrificed their lunchtime to raise money for the fundraiser. In return, they were rewarded with pajama day and hat day, which grew increasingly popular. All money will be sent to Samaritan’s Purse in Charlotte, NC.
