Just before the spring break began, students at Monroe Middle School collected 1,250 personal care items as part of the personal care supply drive sponsored by the MMS National Junior Honor Society. 

               “This is an overwhelming number of personal care items,” said Mr. Scott Hoppert, the MMS NJHS advisor.  ”This says a great deal about the kind of school community we can be when we respond to the needs of others in such a resounding way.  This not only makes us proud of our school, but motivates us to keep this spirit alive in all that we do here at MMS.” 

               Mr. Hoppert explained that the donations now will be taken to the Education Center of the Monroe County Intermediate School District where students with significant disabilities will put them into care packages to be delivered to local support agencies who then will make sure they are delivered to local homeless and disadvantaged families.

               The group that collected the most supplies was Mrs. Kristi Roecker’s Trojan Family Time class which collected 323 items.  The group will receive ice cream treats for their generosity.
