Students from the Habitat for Humanity campus chapter at Pope High School in East Cobb played Santa for four deserving families in Cobb County. On Dec. 17 the students dropped off four carloads of presents at the Northwest Metro Atlanta Habitat for Humanity offices. "This year, as a board, we decided as our way of giving back to the community, we wanted to do to make it more personal," said Megan Lee, president of the Pope High School Habitat chapter. "We wanted to specifically find a family to make a connection with and help them have a memorable holiday season." Habitat's Family Resources Team found four families who have hit hard financial times this season, and the students worked hard to fulfill all the items on the wishlist such as bicycles, scooters and sports equipment.
