Allie
Lunt, a Springboro High School (SHS) Senior, has been spending a lot of
time at home sewing together medical masks for local doctors and nurses working
directly with contagious patients, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Allie
is a member of the National Honor Society (NHS), an
organization for high school students in grades 10-12 that promotes leadership,
service, character, and scholarship. As part of the requirements for
NHS, students must meet certain service goals that involves voluntary contributions made by a student to the
school or community, without compensation.
Allie was originally scheduled to work the Hometown EXPO (“That Spring Thing”) in March at Springboro High School, however the event was postponed until Sept. 26th, as a result of the State’s stay-at-home orders. Instead, Allie found a way to serve her community while at home. Working more than twenty (20) hours so far, Allie is providing much needed supplies to first responders, and those working in the medical field to combat COVID-19.
SHS Principal Kyle Martin, in speaking about Allie Lunt, said, “I can't begin to tell you how proud I am of Allie. The time, commitment, and care that Allie is showing our local doctors and nurses, who are saving lives during this very difficult time, is commendable. This is what giving back is all about, and I know Allie’s work is truly making a difference.”
