Many students that become homeless are afraid to speak out for help. This is due to many reasons: pride, told not to tell, fear of being made fun of… If you would like to help your fellow classmates that are experiencing homelessness, you can bring in school supplies, socks, underwear, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, combs, and tissues during the week of November 12-16. On November 16, to show our support to our friends in need, we are asking everyone to wear a blue shirt.
