❤️ Fundraiser to Help with California’s Wildfire Recovery Efforts
We are raising money to support Calvary Church in Palisades, CA, as they help with recovery efforts after the wildfires there this January. You can donate directly to them here. You can also donate through our PayPal link here. We will be collecting cash at South Heights as well. So far, we have raised $40.61. Additionally, 50% of the proceeds from our merch sales for the Spring 2025 semester will be donated to Calvary Church in Palisades, CA.
🎒 April 10 - Anything But a Backpack (this Thursday!)
Bring your books and supplies in something OTHER than a backpack this Thursday. Please make sure your container is no bigger than a large carry-on. Also, no living things can be used (no pets, no siblings, etc.).
April 15 - SHCC Students, families & tutors are invited to receive a tour of Amnion Women’s Center!
Do you or any of your friends have questions and wonder what Amnion does and how it differs from Planned Parenthood? Go on a tour to ask questions about the free services and learn about the center and counseling they offer including free ultrasounds.
The tour is open for all students and families who would like to learn how the Amnion business runs. It is a way to meet staff and see the facility and what they do. By making this connection you could help save a life by recommending Amnion service and counseling to a mother needing help or considering abortion.
When: Tuesday, April 15, 1-2 pm
Where: Amnion Women’s Center, 13775 Nicollet Ave, Burnsville, MN 55337
*Meet at the side door facing McAndrews and staff will give SHCC students & families a tour.
😎 May 8 - Secret Mission Day
Participate in our “Secret Mission” day on May 8. Pick up your secret mission in the study hall room.
🎉 May 15 - End of Year Party
The student council will be hosting a celebration on May 15 for all of the students at South Heights.
Where: Crystal Beach Park, 1101 Crystal Lake Road East, Burnsville, MN 55337
When: May 15th, one week after the last day of class, from 11 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.
Why: Because it’s fun!
This year, we are asking all students who are planning on coming to let us know so that we can provide adequate food. Please RSVP here.
The student council is also seeking sponsors for the End of Year Party. You can find those details below.
🌟 Sponsorship Opportunity
For the last three years (2022, 2023, and 2024), the South Heights student council has hosted an end-of-year party in Burnsville for the South Heights student body. For the first two years, Chick-fil-A of Burnsville graciously donated food for the party. In 2024, Chick-fil-A was unable to donate any food, so the student council asked sponsors to help cover the cost of providing pizza for the party, and they stepped up. This year, we are asking again for sponsors to help us cover the cost of the end-of-year party.
For any one-time donation to the student council of $10 or more, the student council will include in this email newsletter (a) your logo and (b) up to 60 words of text of your choice.
You can find more details here.
