Perry High FCCLA Packs Food Boxes for Perry Volunteer Outreach

Special to the Herald

 

Perry High FCCLA members were empowered by the spirit of giving this holiday

season as they joined hands with Perry Volunteer Outreach to help pack boxes of

food for families in the middle Georgia area.  A total of 28 FCCLA members

were in attendance to lend a helping hand. Some were divided among food

stations including such items as flour, sugar, grits, canned vegetables, cake

mix, oil, juice, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and rice while other students

pushed carts holding boxes to each station in order for them to be filled.

 

Perry High FCCLA encouraged the entire school to participate in their annual

macaroni and cheese drive.  A total of 2,045 boxes of macaroni and cheese

were collected from the faculty, students and staff at Perry High School for

this cause.  Perry High exceeded last year’s donation total by over 500

additional boxes.

 

Perry High School FCCLA members voluntarily took time out of their busy holiday

season to help someone else in need.  When asked why they chose to

participate most students said that they simply enjoy helping others while

other members said they enjoy helping pack the boxes each year and that it is

fun.  The Perry Volunteer Outreach sponsor Larry Wood was very impressed

with the motivation and drive of these students.  Perry High FCCLA is

proving time and time again that together with our community we are successful.

 

Perry High is located at 1307 North Avenue in Perry.  Dr. Darryl Albritton

serves as principal.  Kama Beaumarchais and Crystal Quick serve as local

FCCLA advisors.
