Throwing a pie as hard as you can at a faculty member’s face of your choice is engaging enough, but there is an actual cause fueling the humiliation. Le Crème de Face is the National Honors Society’s senior service fundraiser to raise money for Winters Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and its residents. Due to bad weather days, the fundraiser has been moved to the new Wednesday April 9 date on the football field after school.

The residents of Winters Park have created a wish list that contains the center’s highest demanded items, and among them are the blankets, tools, and small bingo prizes for their bingo games. NHS president senior Mehul Rana explained that arts and crafts supplies and folding tables are on the list with an Amazon Kindle at the top of it.

“When we first went to Winters Park, some of the elderly were reading books in their spare time,” Rana said. “With a Kindle, they can have multiple books in one place that is easy to share.”

NHS secretary senior Kristina Nguyen sees the fundraiser as a great way to raise money for the residents by getting the whole school involved in pieing their favorite, or least favorite, faculty member.

“I’m pretty sure Doorman is everyone’s favorite,” Nguyen said.

The main goal of the fundraiser is to raise enough money to purchase a Kindle, because a Kindle would help the residents keep their books in one lightweight place and also lessen eye strain since Kindles have a larger text option. Not only does the center lack the resources to provide resident with some of the things they need or want, but Winters Park cannot provide some things for them, either.

“The children are the ones that put them there because they don’t want to or they can’t take care of them, so they let the senior homes take care of them,” Rana said. “I would think that they get sort of depressed from the atmosphere; I would be if I were so restricted to what I can and can’t do. But being able to do stuff like this for them is really heartwarming.”
