MS Student Council Leads Nickelsville Drive



by Kayal

This year the MS Student Council is holding a drive for Nickelsville. Nickelsville is a temporary housing space for the homeless. It is a self managed, eco-village for up to a thousand homeless people in Seattle, Washington.  Nickelsville is currently located on Dearborn, near the Central District. Even though this community is fairly self-reliant, they are still in desperate need of some basic necessities. Student Council is holding a drive to collect these items beginning on February 6th.

Student Council has decided to make this drive into a competition with each advisory assigned specific needs to bring in. The advisory that collects the most of the items assigned will be invited to a Student Council hosted Pizza Party!   Student Council will collect all donated items on February 13th so start collecting!   See below to see what each advisory is assigned.  If you have any questions please contact Susannah or Mary.
