Sophomore Class Seeks to Raise Money and Awareness
Members of the sophomore class
are hoping to sell 1,000 compact fluorescent light
bulbs in an effort to raise money for their class,
and to raise awareness in the community about the
benefits of using CFLs. CFLs can help people save
money on their electric bills and are also better
for the environment. Anyone interested in buying
CFLs through the sophomore class should call the
high school office at 872-1482 and ask for Sheila
Martin or Brian McCoy.
