Laurel Hill Students Give Big to Habitat

Laurel Hill first-grade students collected money at home for chores and good deeds with a goal of helping others in their community.

On Saturday they delivered $1,900 to East Cooper Habitat for Humanity, according to a school news release. The first graders visited Habitat’s first energy efficient house recently completed on Kent Street in Mount Pleasant.

Bob Hervey, Habitat's executive director, and Kate Whitlock, the construction manager, gave the students a tour of the house and accepted the donation.

The students were thrilled to hear the money will be used to provide kitchen cabinets for the next construction project, the news release states.
