DONATION COMPETITION
FCHS is conducting a competition between classes to collect jackets and blankets for people in need. Items do not have to be new, but they must be clean with no holes or stains.
The blankets can be knitted, crocheted, wool, cotton or acrylic. Jackets can be in any size for children through adult men and women. Every item which comes in will add spirit points for your class: 20 points for blankets and 10 points for sweatshirts and jackets.
Find the proper class drop off points and leave donations in the bins. Do not take items from a bin or your class will lose points. Currently, the freshman class has 80 points; the sophomores, 10 points; and the juniors and seniors have 0.
