There was an assembly last Tuesday, November 22nd where Sparrow Club announced their first involvement with South Salem High School. Sparrow Club is an organization that partners a child with a life-affecting illness or condition with a school. Students do community service and local businesses sponsor the community service.
For SSHS, they presented Connor M, a first-grader at McKinley Elementary School (who would be a future South student), who was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer. For every hour of community service recorded, $10 is given to Connors family by local businesses to help with Connor’s medical journey. This caps at 300 hours, or $3000. To participate, all that is required is that community service hours are recorded on the online form.
