STUDENTS: Hey Maine West! Capitol Forum is a small group of sophomore students dedicated to changing the world and getting people to recognize the importance of human rights. This year, following NHS’s lead, they will be teaming up with Journeys: The Road Home, an organization serving the homeless population in the northwest suburbs. We will collect non-perishable food items that will be distributed from the organization’s center in Palatine. These items include canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, cookies, crackers, and individually-wrapped snack items. These items will make an immediate positive impact on people’s lives. Helping Hands for the Homeless runs March 14-22. Bring items to C-204 and contact Ms. Littlefield Lanham for more information.
