Students For Justice Hosts Open Mic Night

       On Friday December 12^th the Students for Justice will be hosting an open mic night in the SKHS cafeteria. All the food sales from the night will benefit the Jonnycake center food pantry. This year the pantry is low on food due to the increase in unemployment in Rhode Island.

     According to the center’s executive director, the number of families has skyrocketed from 567 to 1,009 over the last year.

     “In July of last year we had already provided the same amount of food as the entire 2007 year,” said the director, Susan Gustaitis.

     Students from around the community are making an effort to help the Jonnycake center meet the growing demands.

     “The best way to change the world is to start in your own community,” said senior, Elena Krajeski, a member of Students for Justice.
