During the football game on Friday, September 8, Hononegah and East High School cheerleaders and the Hononegah dance teams formed a heart on the field to signify strength and compassion to those dealing with the wrath of Hurricane Harvey. The “H” in the middle of the heart symbolized the City of Houston. Additionally, the IHSA requested donations from area Illinois high schools to purchase new athletic uniforms and equipment that were lost in the storm. A moment of silence was given to express our thoughts and prayers for all in Houston.

Highlands Elementary School in La Grange hosted “Hats On For Hurricane Relief.” For a donation to hurricane relief, students and staff could wear a favorite hat to school. This school of 450 students raised just over $1,017! In addition, the Highlands Middle School Student LA GRANGE-HIGHLANDS SD 106 SUPT. DR. PATRICIA SULLIVAN-VINIARD Council sponsored a drive that raised $2,000. For both schools, the donated funds were matched by corporations.
