⭐️STUDENT SERVICE SPOTLIGHT⭐️ South Fork High School senior Hollon Trent went above and beyond to give back to her community! Hollon, an International Baccalaureate student, organized a festival benefiting the The Hope Center for Autism, a school close to her heart since she began volunteering there in middle school. The event was a huge success– she scheduled food trucks, sensory activities, provided a variety of vendors, and found generous sponsors. Around 200 children and families attended, including Congressman Brian Mast. Hollon raised an impressive $12,000, with every bit of the profit going directly to the Center. What an incredible way to go #ALLINMartin! #IgniteTogetherMCSD🔥
