These items will be given to families in need in our area.  Thank you also to the student members who volunteered their time and energy to get the word out in the community and school, as well as those that purchased and organized items.

Thank you to everyone who donated to the FCCLA's Hygiene Drive and it wouldn't have been a success without the public's help!

FCCLA Hygiene Drive

Your son/daughter may have received a letter from the school or heard about the Whiting High School FCCLA members having a Hygiene Drive at our school. It starts December 6th and ends December 21st. We could use new/unused products such as adult/kids toothbrushes, toothpaste, bars of soap, disposable razors, deodorant, shampoo/conditioner, boxes of tissues, etc. The donations will go to people and families that need it. There will be a box in the school lobby for the donations. We appreciate any and all donations. Thank You!
 
Sincerely, 
Whiting FCCLA Members

High School Foods Class: Pie Week 2

On Monday, November 21st the students of the morning Foods class continued making pies, but this time each student got to make their own pies and got to take them home for Thanksgiving to share with their families. Students had to bring a pie filling of their choice and make the pie crust and put each of their pies together on Monday and Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the students evaluated each of their pies based on their appearance and describe the work it took to put them together. They had to evaluate them not only on their appearance, but on creativity and work ethic.
