Highland Oaks Elementary is thrilled to launch its annual fundraiser in support of the Mid-South Food Bank! This year, the school is encouraging generosity and compassion in students by asking each student and staff member to donate at least $1 to help feed families in need. This simple act of kindness not only supports a meaningful cause but also teaches students the power of community giving.

With a goal to raise enough funds to provide meals for hundreds of families, Highland Oaks Elementary hopes to foster a sense of responsibility and empathy in its students. Teachers and staff are leading by example, helping students understand the importance of caring for others and making a difference, even through small acts. Through classroom discussions and engaging activities, students are learning how their contributions, however small, can create lasting positive change for those facing food insecurity.

As the fundraiser progresses, the Highland Oaks community is rallying together to reach their goal. Each dollar collected brings the school closer to making a tangible impact in the lives of many. Highland Oaks Elementary extends its gratitude to all participants and supporters who have joined in this cause, highlighting the importance of unity and kindness. Together, Highland Oaks Elementary is setting a powerful example of generosity, one dollar at a time.
