A big "Thank You" to all of the parents and supporters who donated items to the FCCLA (Family, Career, & Community Leaders of America) Hygiene Drive.
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!
