[I Semester: 2006-2007]

  • Our first fundraiser was named again "The Winter Bake Sale". It was held on November 29. We sold hot chocolate, sushi, brownies, marshmallows, candy, and dumplings.
  • We decided to support Safe Passage, the school wide community service initiative, by doing a backpack drive. The purpose was to collect money to help SP buy backpacks for the new school year for the more than 500 students that they support. Each student in Colegio Maya was given an envelope with a letter, where we asked for a donation of a suggested amount of 100 Q to buy backpacks. The envelope also contained a small paper backpack that each student painted and used to decorate a Christmas tree. Each day from December 4 to 13 we had the NJHS members helping out to put the backpacks on the tree.
  • We were able to collect over Q20,000 for backpacks!
  • NJHS members helped out packing the Christmas baskets for the workers at Colegio Maya in December 6, 2006.
