Bowling for a good cause

Heritage’s Pre Law Society hosted its annual Children’s Harbor Event Dec. 9 at SpareZ Bowling Alley. Children’s Harbor is a nonprofit organization that works with and supports children in need to ensure they have a safe, loving home. 

Pre Law members teamed up with the organization to purchase gifts for these children. They met Friday to collect them. 

Aside from the gift drive, the event also served as a celebration of the society and students were offered pizza, cake and refreshments while they bowled. 

“This collaboration as well as events in the future make me remember why I chose Pre-Law society. As a leader in this society, I see this event as a way I can socialize with all of my peers – younger and older.It was truly an honor to help plan, set up and be at this event,” said secretary and junior Shania Mahmood.  

Irene, now a senior at American Heritage, returns to staff as the Online-Editor-in-Chief for her third and final year with the Patriot Post. She loves all things literature and spends most of her time with her nose in a book. Her passion for writing started early, and she is currently the co-president of the Quill and Scroll Society. When she is not studying or writing articles for the wonderful iPatriotPost, she enjoys volunteering and helping lead a multitude of clubs at Heritage. Since 2014, she has worked alongside Best Buddies, an organization that advocates for inclusivity for those with intellectual and physical disabilities. As a co-founder and current board member of the South Florida Best Buddies Student Advisory Board, she plans fundraisers and service projects, including the annual Friendship Walk, which raised almost $300,000. She looks forward to making this year special and as amazing as possible.
