Community
Service Program
Starting with the 2006-07 school year,
The Donoho School has required all
students in grades 9-12 to serve a
total of 15 volunteer hours per year
in their community. The ultimate goal
for this ongoing project is not only
to benefit the community, but that
it will help our students to grow
into responsible caring adults.
Among
some very worthy ways students chose
to become involved in meeting community
needs this year are: RMC volunteer,
Oxford Senior Citizens, Angel Tree
Camp, Camp Lee, Community Enabler,
Calhoun County Animal Shelter, mission
trips with local churches, Red Cross,
Knox Concert Series, and many more.
Charitable Activities
2008-09 School Year
 Christmas Project for US/MS Students: The Christmas Clearinghouse has over 900 families that qualify for assistance in providing Christmas for their families this year. The Clearinghouse is estimating that $250 will provide for a family of four. The Clearinghouse is going to provide Wal-Mart gift cards that only purchase clothes, food and toys to the parents of these families in need. Donoho students raised $1,951.00 in donations for the program. That amount is enough to provide Christmas to seven families of four. Thank you all for your generous support of this very worthwhile holiday project!
 Operation Cover Up a Huge Success: The Upper School Student Government Association (SGA) began "Operation Cover-Up" in early September. In the last three weeks, middle and upper school students worked very hard to collect the 459 coats that will be donated to five local schools. Pictured: coats, Robert Barney, SGA Vice President, Frances Barber, SGA President, and John Hanner, SGA Treasurer. A big THANK YOU goes out to all the students that made this charitable activity such a huge success!
