Higley Unified Staff Continue a Tradition of Support on Red, White & Blue Day
Higley Unified School District staff returned for Red, White & Blue Day, sharing photos of their participation and a team contribution to support GI Go Fund's work with veterans and their families.
GILBERT, Ariz. — Higley Unified School District staff brought denim, patriotic colors and a familiar message of gratitude to this year's Red, White & Blue Day, continuing their support for GI Go Fund and the veterans and families it serves.
Participating through the district's HUSD-HOST team, staff posed together with a red, white and blue banner declaring Higley Unified's support for GI Go Fund and Jeans for Troops. Their participation carries forward a tradition from past years, when the team also joined the campaign to recognize those who have served.
Kimberly Otten, the district's Assistant Director of Community Education, shared three photographs capturing staff members taking part. “We had a few camera shy!” she wrote, a reminder that the smiling groups pictured represent only part of the team's participation.
The HUSD-HOST team raised $104.33, exceeding its $100 fundraising goal.
Higley Unified School District serves communities in Gilbert and Queen Creek, Arizona. The staff's participation came during a month of recognition for veterans across the district. In its November 2 report on Veterans Day activities, Higley Unified highlighted school assemblies, breakfasts, concerts and student projects honoring military service.
GI Go Fund thanks Kimberly, Craig and everyone who took part in HUSD-HOST's effort for returning to the campaign and making support for veterans a shared tradition in their workplace.
