COVERS FOR COMFORT: Covers for Comfort is an organization in which fleece tie blankets are made and then donated to adult cancer patients. Hospitals that the blankets go to are in Dubuque, Galena, the University of Iowa, and Northwestern and Mercy in Chicago. If clubs or activities are interested in giving to the cause, please contact Madison Davis or Student Council. Donations only go until TODAY and blankets are due December 6, so talk to them before then.

BLOOD DRIVE: Friday, December 2 we will be having our annual fall blood drive. Permission slips will be available down in the STUCO zone at lunch.

PROJECT KIDS: Student Council is beginning our annual Project Kids event. Project Kids is a way to help families in need and help provide presents to their children. We are wondering if any 5th hour classes would like to sponsor a child. By sponsoring a child you would be providing gifts (clothes, toys, books, etc.) to a child. If interested in participating in Project Kids talk to your 5th hour teacher.
