Plaza Middle School's Black Culture Club is currently running its annual Christmas toy and clothing drive. All items collected will be given to a homeless shelter. Last year, the students collected and gave six boxes of toys and clothing to The Dwelling Place.
Plaza's SCA collected 2,493 non-perishable food items from the student body to donate to the Salvation Army and the Union Mission.
As a result of an October car wash, Plaza's Wave Riders made $1,260 to purchase books for the in-school readers workshop program. The readers workshop was created to increase student appreciation and enhance their love of literature.
