Moravia NHS Students Spread Holiday Cheer with Heartwarming Ornament Collection

In the spirit of giving and spreading joy, the Moravia High School National Honor Society (NHS) recently embarked on a heartwarming initiative to collect Christmas ornaments for Regan's Acts of Kindness.

The mission of Regan's Acts of Kindness is to spread joy and kindness to the world, and this collaboration with Moravia High School NHS aims to bring smiles to children in hospitals during the holiday season.

Regan’s Acts of Kindness was founded in memory of Regan Shetsky, a little girl who tragically lost her life in 2017. As one of its initiatives, the organization collects Christmas ornaments to give to children and newborns at St. Joseph's Health Hospital, Golisano Children's Hospital, Joslin Diabetes Center, Ronald McDonald House, McMahon Ryan Child Advocacy Center, Upstate Cancer Center, and Elmcrest Children's Center.

“I saw a news story a couple of weeks ago on News Channel 9 and spoke to my NHS members about collecting ornaments. And they wanted to do so,” said High School Counselor Shannon Taylor.

In total, the NHS and Moravia community collected two full boxes of ornaments that were delivered to Regan’s Acts of Kindness.
