Students at Neoga High School recently showed their support for people suffering from cancer by participating in Hat Day, a function organized by the National Honor Society. On October 15th, students had the option to give a $1 donation to the Heavenly Hats Foundation. In exchange for their donation, students who paid were allowed to wear a hat to school for that day.

Heavenly Hats was founded in 2001 by Anthony Leanna when he was ten years old. The foundation supplies cancer patients with hats for warmth, comfort, and reassurance and has given out more than 1,000,000 hats to date. They have shipped hats to hundreds of different hospitals around the U.S. and even more have been shipped directly to patients at home. With the students’ donations, National Honor Society was able to send a $111 contribution to the Heavenly Hats Foundation.

Recently, thirty-five Neoga High School students had a chance to “head East” and see three popular cities. New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. were all covered in a seven day period from June third to June thirteenth. Some of the highlights of the Washington, D.C., portion of the trip were The Vietnam and Korean War Memorials, as well as the Lincoln, Jefferson, and Roosevelt Memorials. In New York City, the students visited Ground Zero and The Rockefeller Center. In an exciting turn of events, the students were captured by the cameras of The Today Show. While in Philadelphia they were able to observe the U.S. Mint, Independence Hall and The Liberty Bell. Neoga High School Senior Madison Walk reflected, “It was very educational.”
