Build-a-Bed ~ HHMS families, once again, NAFCS has partnered with Metro United Way for their annual Build-A-Bed program. Through Build-a-Bed, we are able to provide a twin size bed for students that need their own place to sleep at night. Pictured below is an example of one of the beds. Beds come with the frame (that will need to be assembled), mattress, pillow, sheets, and blanket. If you have a student in need of a bed, please contact our school social worker, Katie Stein at 812.542.8501 Ext: 6563. or email her at kstein@nafcs.org. Beds are being built now and should be distributed by Spring Break.
