"We're a selfless service organization based around leadership and giving back to our community," said Jackson. The group in its first year has eight officers and 15 active members. During a meeting, Jackson and others discussed creating a community garden or helping at an elderly community center. But what ultimately took place was a bear-stuffing to give to kids who are less fortunate. "I had a couple of unused unstuffed buildabears in my attic that my family bought in an empty storage lot. We just had to buy the stuffing and stuff them." The bears were ultimately delivered to the Health and Human Services in Sherman where the staff there was ecstatic and said they had never had such a delivery and thoughtful presentation.

Jackson serves as the president of the Interact Club that he founded earlier this year. As a senior, he is currently seeking someone to take his place and his passion to keep things in full swing for the next school year.
Jackson is hoping to join a Rotaract Club while at Texas A&M University where he is scheduled to attend starting next fall. Jackson has just received the engineering acceptance letter from the school.
"I want it to be someone who can see what I see and continue on into past high school and even in to college," said Jackson.
The Christmas season was made a little bit better because of some great young Howe students that care. Salute!
