The literacy-centered group Students for Education has started developing plans for a new fundraiser later this semester. Aghilah Nadaraj, vice president and senior, said the group held a meeting last week to discuss which ideas might be most effective.

“At the last meeting, we mostly checked in on how the members are doing with their tutoring and talk about some ways to help the Coburn shelter,” Nadaraj said. “I just heard from the shelter that they’re holding a lottery for a new car that somebody donated, and we’ll probably try to promote that around the school if the administration lets us.”

According to sponsor Sherri Pankratz, the club’s meetings and activities are almost entirely run by the officers.

“I leave most of the day-to-day functions of the club to the students,” Pankratz said.

As for Nadaraj, she said the club is encouraging more activities in order to raise awareness about the Coburn Place Safe Haven in the Carmel area.

“A lot of our events and fundraisers are about raising money to help Coburn, but they’re also so that more people here can learn about the shelter and what it does,” Nadaraj said. ”A lot of our newer members joined the club because of our events last year, and I believe getting more tutors and volunteers is more important than a few extra dollars.”
