With support from school leaders and classmates, she is holding a clothing and personal hygiene drive.<br \/>\nLast winter, Reedy and her soccer team participated in a food and clothing drive for Hopeville. The team, along with parent chaperones, delivered the donations to a warehouse that would in turn distribute them to community members. Once they arrived, they were unexpectedly given the chance to visit Hopeville.<br \/>\n\u201cI had mixed emotions about seeing Hopeville,\u201d said Reedy. \u201cYou see people on the street but you don\u2019t know anything about them. I was scared, nervous and joyful to see what our efforts were going toward.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt was an awakening view to picture what they go through,\u201d she continued. \u201cWe went into a home and when I walked in, it was basically just wood for walls and blankets for insulation. He told us that he had been a regular person and lost his job. He told us that \u2018things fade away.\u2019\u201d<br \/>\nReedy talked to her parents that same night and said she wanted to help. Since she\u2019s involved in Student Council, her parents suggested that it might be an option. She approached her school principal, Willicia Hobbs, for guidance.<br \/>\nWith support from Hobbs and school leaders, Reedy\u2019s campaign took off. She wrote a story about Hopeville for the school\u2019s Parent Teacher Association, and she created a PowerPoint to present in classrooms school-wide. Copies of flyers to remind students of the drive are posted on doors, lockers and walls, and announcements are made each morning. A storage closet on the second-floor is filled with bags and boxes of donations. A nearby storage company also donated space to store the items.<br \/>\n\u201cThings just started to fall into place,\u201d said Reedy. \u201cWe\u2019ve collected a large amount of clothes and hygiene products and some money.\u201d<br \/>\nThe donation drive will continue through the end of April.<br \/>\n\u201cI feel like a lot of kids have been awakened as to what they have in life. These people don\u2019t have anything. I think I\u2019ve changed a few lives for people in Hopeville and kids at school by what we\u2019re giving to others and showing kids what people go through,\u201d said Reedy.<br \/>\n\u201cThere\u2019s always hope in Hopeville is my overall motto for the project,\u201d she said.<br \/>\n\u201cWhen Kaley brought this project to us we were more than willing to help. She met with our PTA and our leadership team,&#8221; said Hobbs We agreed that this is a project that would support our school\u2019s mission. It allows our students and staff to participate.<br \/>\n\u201cThe idea of giving hope to the people in the Hopeville community is wonderful,\u201d said Hobbs. \u201cKaley is what I call \u2018talented\u2019 beyond her years.&#8221;<em> (story courtesy of the Hazelwood District Communications Dept.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaley Reedy, an eighth-grade student at Hazelwood Northwest Middle School, is leading a school-wide clothing and personal hygiene drive to donate to Hopeville, a homeless community in St. Louis.
