High School Student Collects Donations for Deployed Troops

07/26/2022

Leading up to the July 4th holiday, Highlands High School senior Adriana Montemurro collected supplies and monetary donations for our Deployed Troops. Her themed effort, "Adriana's Surf & Turf Drive", focused on creating care packages filled with beef jerky, goldfish crackers, tuna and snacks. Through her efforts, hundreds of items were donated and she also raised $445! Adriana coordinated her effort through Summer Tissue of Military Connections, a non-profit organization in Pittsburgh that provides care packages, equipment and supplies to service members overseas. Way to go, Adriana!
