ach holiday season, the Mineola High School National Honor Society and Key Club collects items and donations from members of the Mineola school community to brighten the holidays for local families in need. This year, a group of graduates is stepping in to help the cause even further. The group of friends, made up of mostly Mineola alumni, call themselves the “Wolfpack.” After two of them had a conversation with their mom, Colleen Peralta, who also works in the district, the Wolfpack made a generous donation to the annual campaign. “Service and community service are long standing traditions at Mineola High School,” Mineola High School Principal Dr. Whittney Smith said.
