Projects
Every year during the holiday season, the Wood NJHS participates in the Adopt A Family program through our local Family Service Association (FSA). For this program, we collect, wrap and deliver gifts to a needy family in the San Antonio area whose name and Wish List is provided by FSA. Year-round projects include collecting Wish List items for the Ronald McDonald House and the Animal Defense League. These are just a few of the service projects we are committed to. Other projects are added each year as suggested by current NJHS members. In addition, each year NJHS members participate in individual projects of their choice.
