“The Mahwah High School Student Council raised $1300 dollars since Hurricane Sandy, which we sent to Governor Christie to help the victims down at the shore. As a school, we conducted bake sales, T-Shirt Sales, and even had our student council members sing during lunch for donations. We hope this money will help whomever it can and that this donation really makes a difference in the lives of New Jersey residents. We are Jersey Strong!”
The photo above is of the council’s executive officers Jeryl Lippe (Corresponding Secretary), Borys Marchankas (Treasurer), Kevin Kim (President), Brandon Schwartz (Senior Class Treasurer), and Lily Hurley (Recording Secretary).
