Cross Schools students collected over $1,500 in gift cards for Hilton Head Heroes as part of their ongoing community service outreach. The mission of Hilton Head Heroes is to bring families with children between the ages of 2-16 suffering from life threatening illnesses to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for a resort vacation. The founders of Hilton Head Heroes, Lindy and Gregg Russell, graciously accepted the cards from Headmistress Shawn Young at the school. Gregg Russell, a local entertainer, treated the students to a brief concert and a presentation highlighting the mission of Hilton Head Heroes. Cross Schools is an independent Christian school in Bluffton serving 18 months through 8th grade.
