Seeking Donations
:
The CTC National Technical Honor Society is looking for a reliable, road-worthy vehicle to be used for scholarship fundraising. The vehicle doesn’t need to be perfect, but should be appealing enough to generate future raffle ticket sales. If you would consider donating your vehicle for a tax deduction instead of going through the hassle of selling it, or if you know of someone who may be interested in donating, please contact Karmin Olds at
kolds@tbaisd.org
.
Have something to sell/donate?
Send your item description, asking price and contact information to
hjewell@tbaisd.org

Food Service in Action
Our local school districts have stepped up to prepare meals so no child goes hungry during the current mandated school closure. This practice will carry on through April 10, including during the scheduled spring break. Each meal is packaged with food handling and safety as a priority. The collaboration between districts has been phenomenal and our school families are the benefactors of this regional outpour of support. Volunteer opportunities are available for this and other community service tasks. Contact the
United Way
to learn how you can help.
