Due to a donation from Pasadena Memorial High School students, BEAR, also known as Be A Resource for CPS Kids, were able to significantly increase their reach this year, providing more than $15,000 worth of gifts. “We basically wanted it to be a magical night then Covid happened,” said Pasadena Memorial senior Maya Arredondo. The class of 2020 has shown time and time again what their hearts are truly about,” said Pasadena Memorial principal Jeremy Richardson. Hetmaniak said the students’ gifts were heavily sought after and brought many smiles to many teens under CPS care. Arredondo said the seniors were happy to give back and said they hope that the children under CPS care know how loved they truly are.
