Happenings During the week of December 14-18, the Principal's Advisory Committee (PAC), comprised of the president or vice president of grades 7-12 and Student Council, sponsored a food drive to benefit shut-ins and needy families. Some 1000 food items were collected. The seniors really got into gear towards the end of the drive. Their efforts resulted in donations that far surpassed expectations, and more families were able to receive food baskets than were originally planned.
