Lamar High School’s Student Council was awarded the Central Region’s Youth Volunteer of the Year Award at the annual HISD Volunteers in Public Schools Recognition Breakfast on May 4.
The Lamar Student Council, comprised of 50 students, is a dedicated group of student leaders who strive to not only lend aid in the school, but also in the community.
These students participate and oversee numerous volunteer services throughout the year and take time out of their school work, part-time jobs, family time and social life to lend a hand toward a worthy cause.
They strive to help others and in the process have become the heroes of their peers and community.
Their annual Blood Drive, which is one of their most important volunteer efforts, is hosted on campus three times a year and saves an estimated 1000 lives a year.
Their latest volunteer initiative is “Helping Hands,” which involves coordinating students leaders in every club/organization on campus to assist people with food and clothing who have suffered from major disasters around the world.
Other volunteer projects include collecting toys and can goods during the holidays for the less fortunate.
