Candy for the Courageous

Did your children get too much candy while Trick or Treating?  Encourage them to donate some of their candy to our troops overseas. The USO collects candy and encouraging notes at this time of year through Candy for the Courageous.  There will be collection bins in our Student Services Suite (where our counselors offices are locate). Thank you!
