Esperanza Medical Sciences Academy and HOSA students host school wide art supplies drive to benefit local hospital

During the month of March, Esperanza High School’s Medical Sciences Academy led a school wide art drive to collect supplies for the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. Students asked for donations of coloring books, colored pencils, markers, crayons, and Play-Doh. To add a competitive spirit to the drive, the school made it a class competition and students brought in their supplies to fill up their class bin. The two bins below are the junior and senior class bins.

In addition, two of the school’s Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) officers, Khushi Lakhani and Emma Erickson, visited Michael’s to purchase additional supplied to help the Aztecs’ efforts. Total, all of the students’ donations filled 13 bags full of supplies.

Pictured above is Khushi Lakhani and Emma Erickson with a representative from the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. The hospital was very appreciate of the school’s thoughtfulness and dedication to collecting art supply donations. They even mentioned that they receive a lot of toy donations; however, they were lacking in art supplies for patients.

Thanks to the Esperanza students and HOSA members, the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles now has bags stuffed with stickers, coloring supplies, and more! Way to go, Aztecs!
