They call it &#8220;28.00 For Good.&#8221; And you can help too.<\/em><!--more--><br \/>\nby Maralyn Fink<br \/>\nBack at St. Johns High School I met with seniors John Shaver and Trisha Cheeney who presented a goal for SJHS Grads &#8212; <em>28.00 For Good.<\/em> The concept has been completely thought through and was presented to the senior class members at a class meeting. This project was presented at a seminar also, and the students had a great response for this idea.<br \/>\nTheir goal is to raise money for <a href=\"http:\/\/love146.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LOVE 146<\/a>, a charity that works to free child slaves. John and Trisha said that this is a world-wide charity.<br \/>\nJohn and Trisha are heading up this goal; and it was presented to Administration, Mr. Horak, Vice Principle and approved by him.<br \/>\nThe idea for this is for each senior to donate the $28.00 they would spend on purchasing their cap and gown for upcoming graduation. This would not, however, allow the senior to participate in the ceremonies.<br \/>\nNow they want to contact former students who still have their caps and gowns and ask that they donate them to this group. In turn they will be worn by the seniors who have elected to donate their money to the charity.<br \/>\nContact is being made through Facebook, and fliers have been sent home with students for parents to read.<br \/>\nThere are 250 seniors in the graduating class, and with some fast math from Trisha we learned that they could collect $7000.00 for LOVE 146.<br \/>\nThe monies collected will be handled by the school for this project. So far they have collected $600.00 and have already received used caps and gowns. They have accomplished all of this in less than one week.<br \/>\nIf there are any alumni out there or if mom is cleaning your closet and you would like to donate, please call John Shaver at 989-307-9320. So please check your closets and storage to see if you still have yours and contact John at the above number. They only have a short time frame to do this.<br \/>\nThe students are celebrating their achievement in education by providing an education to children who do not have the same opportunities.<br \/>\nGreat work, John and Trisha. Thank you for letting me share with you and help get the word out. I am certain that you will reach your goal and thank you for always striving to help people who are less fortunate.<br \/>\nAnd no cookies again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Shaver and Trisha Cheeney have a challenge for graduates from the class of 2013.
