Back in May, the UEHS National Honor Society (NHS) organized a walkathon to raise funds for GiGi’s Playhouse, a nonprofit that supports individuals with Down syndrome through educational and therapeutic programs. The event was a success, raising an impressive $1,510 thanks to the efforts of participating students and generous donors. Just before the end of the school year, seniors and NHS officers Isabella O'Brien and Giada Circensi personally delivered the check to the organization. During their visit, they toured the facility, met with staff and community members, and gained a deeper understanding of GiGi’s Playhouse’s mission to foster confidence, independence, and achievement. Their experience offered a powerful reminder of how student-led efforts can make a real impact beyond the classroom.
