'lr , , . 5 Illustrates concern Community awareness grows By being aware ofthe needs of those peo- ple outside of school, students became in- volved in the community. It was shown in many ways that the students of Northwest cared about others. The United Way drive proved to be a suc- cess. Student Senate members organized different activities in hopes of raising money. A pep assembly was held at the end of the week to announce the winner of the class competition and for a last minute col- lection. The Senior class won all but the spirit chain contest, which was won by the juniors. Over 1,000 dollars was donated by the students for the elderly and low-income families. During Operation Holiday, the Sophomore class donated the most food products. Operation Holiday was held the week before Christmas and students were 6 ' Community Awareness encouraged to bring any extra canned goods or boxed goods from home. These food pro- ducts went to those people in our communi- ty who were not fortunate enough to buy their own for the holiday season. Students also worked in the community, serving as candy stripers and doing volunteer work. One student was selected on the PM Magazine Teen Board. junior April Criner represented Northwest at the Teen Board meetings. Together, the members wrote and produced stories about the students and their involvement in school and in the community, Overall, the students of Northwest show- ed that they were sensitive to the needs of people in the communtity. The reputation of the Grizzlies grew because of their warm hearts and friendliness. -Anita Zelmer
