For the past month, Wayne Middle School Junior National Honor Society members Aleydis Pineda, Hali Peterson, Millie Ice, and Kassen Pace have been working with the middle school students to collect new and unused socks to donate to New Horizons Women's Shelter in Richfield. Each grade (6th, 7th, and 8th) had a box in the hallway next to the office to fill with new, tagged, and unused socks.

The competition to collect socks was a heated one! All students participated and the outcome was fabulous! To reward students for their kind work in collecting socks for those who need them, at the end of the week, the 8th grade (with 131 pairs) received ice cream! The 7th grade (with 67 pairs) and the 6th grade (with 60 pairs) will be getting some popsicles!

We are so proud of the caring and dedicated students who were willing to help someone in need.

The Junior National Honor Society is part of the National Honor Society. Students who are members of the Junior Society must have a high GPA, commit to specific hours of community service, and participate in educational and volunteer projects.
