The Twin Valley High School Leo Club partnered with a former local police chief to organize a donation drive in support of hurricane victims in North Carolina. Together, they assembled hygiene kits for men, women, boys, and girls in color-coordinated bags and collected a trailer full of essential supplies, all generously donated by our school community.
A huge thank you to our Leo Club members for their dedication to helping others, and to all the volunteers who played a role in gathering supplies, packing boxes, loading the trailer, and more! #WellnessWednesday #RaiderPride

Twin Valley High School's Mission Possible recently visited The Clock Tower at Reading Hospital to drop off care packages for long-term care patients. This month’s baskets were filled with cozy pillows, coloring books with markers, fall crafts, fidgets, and message boards—all chosen to bring comfort and joy.
Last year, Mission Possible had just 10 members. Now, over 100 students are involved and the group continues to expand, finding new ways to support local hospitals beyond their monthly care baskets.
#MotivationMonday: Generosity is contagious! Be inspired by TVHS Mission Possible and find your way to pay it forward.
