Greetings Anser families,

Thank you in advance for supporting some of the JH Solutionary projects this spring. Students in Justice have been designing projects based on a problem they care about and have communicated with community experts and/or stakeholders to understand the needs and refine their projects. Here are a few ways you can contribute to their projects- and to our community! Becky

Hello Anser families,

Our names are Jane, Phoebe, Milena, Acacia, from Jr. high. 

Currently, there are 1448 people experiencing homelessness in our county. That is equivalent to 891 households, 272 of which are families with kids. In order to help with this, we are doing a welcome mat, pots, pans, and cleaning supply drive for CATCH, a local organization working on solving homelessness. We have set up a donation bin by the front office, and we would really appreciate you donating. The latest you can bring things in is May 16. Please donate, these people and families really need your support. Thank you.

We (Mila, Tucker, Nex and Mason) are starting a drive for laundry detergent and bleach to help West Valley Humane society prevent spread of illnesses and diseases and to clean everything. We need the detergent and bleach to be pet safe. Humane Society's need them for washing toys and bedding for their animals, and they are in dire need. There will be boxes inside or outside of each classroom, and whichever class collects the most will win a cake! The boxes will be put out on Friday the 6th (5/6) and the drive will continue until Friday the 20th (5/20). The cake will be brought to the winning class on Monday the 23rd (5/23).

We are Quinn and Aaden and we are doing a toiletries drive for the Vineyard Church food pantry. The drive will end May 18th. We need full or small sized toothpaste, toilet paper, shampoo, toothbrush, mouthwash, conditioner, tampons and others. We have boxes around the school with signs on them. They are by classrooms upstairs. We will start on Friday, May 6th.

Hi we are Henry Jack and Dacota.

We are doing a drive for gently used or new sports equipment. Donations will benefit our refugee kid population in Boise. The drive will end on the 17th and we need as many donations as possible. There will be a box by the front office. Thank you.

Hi we are Jayden, Jeronimo and James and we will be hosting a bake sale that will be happening on May 20th and may 23rd to benefit the womens and childrens alliance. The donations we get will be used to purchase gas gift cards to help with the cost of transportation, a big challenge for their clients. The Women’s and Children’s Alliance helps serve victims of domestic abuse. We will have posters placed throughout the whole school on what we are selling and how much they cost. Thank you!

Hi! We are two seventh grade students. Our names are Harper and Elise. Right now there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean. Every single day, 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into our oceans. For our justice solutionary project we are trying to help reduce the use of plastic bags in Idaho. We are holding a bake sale to raise money to buy reusable bags to sell/give away at grocery stores for shoppers to use instead of plastic bags. The bake sale will be after school on Thursday the 12th of May. Please be there to support us!
