A Season of Giving
The Dallastown Area School District Counseling Department and Social Services Coordinator's collaborative giving efforts involved the Dallastown community, school families, faculty, and students in assisting 135 families and 390 children during this season of giving. This included the distribution of food baskets, gift cards, books, toys, and clothing. We extend a Wildcat thank you to everyone for helping to make a difference in the lives of others.
Additionally, the December high school blood drive collected 90 pints of blood from 138 donors, resulting in the ability to save 270 lives! We thank all who participated and, especially, senior Mady Sharp for organizing the event--the second largest campus blood drive to date.
