Hats for Tara raises funds for North guidance counselor

Over the last few months, Nashua High School North students have organized and participated in a number of fundraisers to benefit the Nashua community. One of the latest fundraisers at North just goes to show how dedicated the Titans are in helping others out. The Hats for Tara project, started by North science teacher Carrie Beach, benefits North guidance counselor Tara Veit, who’s battling breast cancer. The projects aims to raise money though the sale of hats hand-knitted by community volunteers; for weeks, students at North have been knitting and selling hats. “I started this fundraiser as not only a way to raise money for the Veit family, but also to make hats to donate to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute,” Beach said. Beach is in charge of the North Science National Honor Society, which has been a driving force behind the fundraiser. It has hosted multiple sessions to teach members of the North community the craft of knitting. “It’s really great to know how much we’re helping the Veit family,” junior Theresa Inzerillo said. “This fundraiser has not only been meaningful for everyone in Science Honor Society, it has also been fun.” But the hats aren’t the only way in which the public can get involved.Image may be NSFW.
