Through a program called Magnified Giving, East Clinton High School students were able to donate $1,750 to one nonprofit agency in Clinton County. They were able to award the New Life Clinic on May 8, 2017 at a banquet held at the Mayerson JCC. At this banquet, East Clinton was the only school district that runs this program as a before school club and not in an actual class.
East Clinton currently has 13 students who participate regularly. Those students are: Avery Beatty, Luke Meares, Trysten Bosier, Faith Fetters, Mikala Runk, Anecia Holland, Ethan Harrington and Kaylee Rider. The program is facilitated by Casey Curtis. The students in the Magnified Giving program have been working through a course that Magnified Giving offers teaching students about philanthropy and the necessary skills needed to become a philanthropist. They worked through this program and through fundraising were able to participate in the match program where they raised over $1000. They worked hard all year and showed great pride in raising extra money to help support the non-profits they chose in Clinton County.
