Kindness closet benefits San Jacinto High School students
Diane A. Rhodes Special to Valley News
When several students at San Jacinto High School realized they had classmates who were financially challenged and/or homeless, they wanted to do something to help. Enlisting the support of U.S. World History teacher Jesse Spriggs and Assistant Principal Bill Powell, a secluded area that had been utilized as a teachers’ break room and storage area was transformed into the Tiger Den. Since it was established, the benevolence closet has been a popular resource for new and gently used clothing items, shoes and outerwear. Kyahanna Jones, who serves as manager of the Tiger Den, said her role is to check on the room almost every day to see if stock needs to be replenished or if she and other key students need to organize and straighten things up. Josh Ramirez, also a 16-year-old junior, oversees expansions by visiting other schools in the district to share the idea and help them set up guidesee KINDNESS, page A-4
