Hadley students have been collecting goods this month for the Veterans Day Supply Drive. Hadley is partnering with Navy Veteran Mr. Paul Donohue's local VFW Post 2164 and Hines Hospital. Mr. Donohue was the guest speaker and presenter at the November 10th Hadley Veterans Day assembly. The Hadley Builder's Club is also helping out this year as they will help to organize the materials. Donations are being accepted through tomorrow December 1st. The drive will accept any items from the public. All donations will be delivered by Hadley students to the VFW Post 2164 in Wheaton. Visit their website HERE

Check out a few of the posters below that Hadley students created to promote the supply drive. Great work students!
