McDonald High School Student Council members sold candy canes for a week at school. The candy canes were sold for $.50 each, and students could send a holiday greeting to their friends. The candy cane sale was a huge success, and MHS Student Council raised $239 that was sent to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for Kids.
The "Giving Tree" was another Christmas Project for the McDonald High School Student Council.

They worked with the Nile Community Services to sponsor a Giving Tree. The staff, faculty, and students sponsored children from the Giving Tree. MHS Student Council members collected a multitude of gifts for 35 children. These presents were gathered, wrapped, and delivered to children in the McDonald, Niles, and Mineral Ridge areas. A big thank you to all for your tremendous support!
