This year Ms Dickson and the Red Team challenged HMS student once again to open their hearts and wallets for the 30 Hour Famine, helping kids in need. Students raised all of the funds by hosting a volley-ball tournament, taking donations during lunch time and through sponsorship for the main event where 23 stayed at school overnight and did not eat for 30 hours. Even one of our friends from France, Elioussa, participated and raised awareness in Bordeaux. A special thanks to Nathalie Morehouse who helped supervise the event with Ms Dickson.
