CONGRATULATIONS
to Meaghan Hennessey and John Difilippo! Both students are recipients of the 2015 John F. Kennedy ‘Make a Difference Award’.
Meaghan Hennessey has been nominated for the John F. Kennedy, “Make a difference Award” as an advocate for
community service. Meaghan has always been very involved in the community service projects here at Pickering Middle School. She encourages other to get involved and she is a
caring, compassionate student. Meaghan is also part of the National Junior Honor Society where she also takes part in the community service projects that they are involved in such as, Toys for Tots and Pennies for Patients. In addition to all of the
WORK she does here she, also volunteers at her church in her free time.
John Difilippo is one of the students chosen to receive the John F Kennedy Make a Difference award for his volunteer work in the community. John has joined thousands of people who each year shave their
HAIR off to support children with cancer. The
One Mission Buzz Off is an event where
PARTICIPANTS shave their heads in honor and support of kids with cancer; kids who don’t have the choice to lose their
HAIR. Just like a walk or road
race, participants raise
MONEY by asking family and friends to sponsor their participation. In five short years, over 3,000 people have shaved their heads, raising $3.2 Million. John has been volunteering at this program for the past 3 years. During that time John has also maintained excellent grades in school. Congratulations John and keep up the good work.
