The PTSA Mid-Winter Carnival, held January 12 at the local high school, was a huge success. Several hundred people were present and everyone had a great time. The gross intake was over $600 and the PTSA portion of that will be around $250. This will enable the PTSA to offer several $50 scholarships to seniors going on to accredited schools. It will also be helping with the Right to Read Program at the local school.
