In November, Harker’s Green Team – an upper school organization that promotes sustainability and awareness of environmental issues – held a clothing drive to benefit Sacred Heart Community Service and Empowering World Change. Green Team member Kunal Bhandarkar, grade 11, said about eight to 10 large bags full of clothes were donated. “The clothing donation drive was started to give people who need clothes something warm and comfortable to wear as the days get increasingly colder,” he said.

Middle school students also got involved in the effort, as the advisories of science teacher Raji Swaminathan, Japanese teacher Kumi Matsui and English teacher Rebecca Williams contributed at least three more large bags of clothes.
