Gingerbread Houses For Good

The holiday spirit was in the air at Scarsdale High School last Friday as SHS Habitat 4 Humanity hosted its fourth annual Gingerbread House event. Over 500 people, kids and parents included, came out to the cafeteria to construct and decorate their elaborate houses out of a large assortment of candy, frosting and any other decorative goodies.

Club members prepared for weeks planning, publicizing and executing their big event and the result was fantastic. The club raised over $3,000 and created a fun afternoon for parents and kids alike. "It is rewarding to know that you are helping a great cause and raising the spirits of the community at the same time," said club officer Troy Kirwin. Just as the event has improved the last four years, Habitat looks to the future to include even more of the community in such a fun and festive day.
