After the success of last year’s Cardboard Box City, the school will be hosting the event again on March 3 and March 4 on the football field.
Although last year’s event was made possible through the efforts of alumni Jenna Priestley’s senior project, this year’s Cardboard Box City event is presented through the organization Family Promise of Collin County, with the help of the school’s Key Club.
Cardboard Box City is a fundraiser to increase awareness and funds for families dealing with homelessness, especially within the community. Participation is encouraged for all 6th-12th grade students, as well as 5th grade and under with adult supervision.
The registration fee is $25 dollars, but participants are highly encouraged to raise additional pledges to benefit the cause. Dinner, drinks, and snacks will be provided, and prizes will be awarded to those with the best-decorated boxes. The event begins at 6 p.m. Saturday and will wrap up at 7 a.m. Sunday.
