Shayleigh Melton is tackling a critical issue for her senior project—social work through foster care. Social workers are the lifeline for children in need, providing safety, support through substance abuse, mental health struggles, and violence, and working to reunite families when it’s safe.

You can help Shayleigh make a difference by dressing down on January 8th for just $2! Wear red or black and show your support. All donations will go to Hearts to Homes to continue supporting foster care programs.

Let’s show Shayleigh and all our seniors some love and encouragement as they make a big impact! 💖
