As Elsa says, "The cold never bothered them anyway!" But it might bother others — let's make sure no one has to face the winter cold without mittens, help out FBLA and donate your old mittens! FBLA is having a holiday mitten tree, located in the business hall, where all mittens will be donated to the Bettendorf elementary schools. Donate new or gently used mittens in the Business Hall throughout December. Put a mitten on the tree and help a child in need!
Freshman Student Council is partnering with the United Way of the Quad Cities to host a book drive. The books will be donated to local kids in the area who might not get the opportunity to read at home. Please donate books to your first block class. The books can be slightly used, and appropriate for children ages 3 - 16. The first block class with the most boxes will get a box of donuts after winter break. Hope we could spread the joy of the holiday season to others in the community!
