The Be The Light service project was led by CHS leadership students who collected gifts of clothes, coats, shoes, and toys from CHS clubs, individual donors, and community members. Harkers Island and surrounding areas were devastated by Hurricane Florence in September. Students at Harkers Island Elementary School were the recipients of the gifts from our generous Spiders.
