Once a year, a single day out of the school year is dedicated to giving back to the community. Heart of a Highlander is an event where students are granted a day off school in order to have an opportunity to give back to their communities by volunteering. Highlanders like to show their support for their communities by volunteering at places such as care centers, cleaning up the environment, making cards for veterans, and anything else to help out the community. David Copperfield’s Project Magic spent Heart of a Highlander day embarking on Park Lake Presbyterian Child Care Center. Project Magic provided a pop-up carnival with face painters, balloon artists, stilt walkers, and carnival games in which every child won a stuffed animal. By dedicating this single day to volunteering, Highlanders can brighten so many people’s days.
