During the month of April, the HOSA-JUMP Club at Travis Ranch School had its annual homeroom competition to collect baby items called “April Showers Baby Shower.” Students were encouraged to donate items such as diapers, wipes, monitors, clothing, food, and more. In the end, the Trailblazers collected 9,230 wipes and 1,584 diapers total!
All of the items were then donated to H.I.S. House in Placentia, an organization that provides transitional shelter to families, single adults, and couples who are homeless, but have the motivation and capability, with their assistance, to regain self-sufficiency.
At the club’s most recent meeting on May 7, H.I.S. House representatives Carrie Buck and Ruth Cho visited Travis Ranch to speak to students about what they do to help out local families in need. Great job, students!
