Fair Lawn High School Interact Club Update
The student members of the FLHS Interact Club continue to show that they are the Next Generation of Leaders in Service to Humanity. Twenty-five club members participated in the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk in Paramus on October 26th. A total of $2,700 was raised for the Alzheimer's Association; through the students’ efforts in conducting two bake sales held at the high school ($200), “canning” for donations at the River Road (Fair Lawn) Shop-Rite ($600) and pledges for participating in the walk itself.
The Interact Club held a food drive during the first two weeks of November and is now undertaking a fundraiser where they are selling restaurant gift cards for $10 – these gift cards are valued at $25. The proceeds from this fundraiser are going to the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation. This Foundation is working with a local child to find a match for a needed bone marrow transplant.
Club members are also keeping busy by dressing teddy bears for a Salvation Army program where these dressed bears will be delivered to make hospital stays just a little brighter for children and to provide joyfulness to other children in the local community. Interactors are also preparing to deliver holiday cheer to the students in grades K-2 at School 6 in Paterson. Club members are preparing lists of gift requests for these children; Santa Claus and Interact Club Members will be delivering gifts to the children on December 21st.
