This is the third year in which the students from Highland Park High School National Honor Society have shipped care packages to the troops. The students collected the items, packed the boxes and shipped the care packages to five U.S. Military troops stationed overseas.
On Saturday morning, April 22nd, the students, plus a few volunteers from The Airborne Angel Cadets of Texas, gathered in the school’s cafeteria where they packed over 200 boxes with the items they had collected. The boxes included food and toiletries plus personal thank you notes to the troops that were written by the students. The soldiers are sure to appreciate the time and effort these students dedicated to gather the items and send the packages. It will let them know they haven't been forgotten by the people here at home!
