SADD
Wallenpaupack and Scranton HS SADD Clubs have partnered up to help the Women's Resource Center. Members of our SADD Club will be collecting donations during all lunches beginning Monday, February 2nd through Wednesday February 4
Donations will be used to purchase teddy bears for the Teddy Bear Toss taking place at the Varsity Boys' Basketball game at Scranton HS February 5th (6:30 PM). The bears will be tossed out on the court after the National Anthem, and will serve as entry into the game that evening. These bears can be used to bring comfort and joy to individuals in need. Any extra proceeds collected will be donated to the Women's Resource Center, a center that ensures that women in our community receive support, counseling, shelter and educational programs.
We're hoping our students and staff will help support a great cause that brings smiles, comfort and empowers women within our community.
