Ananda Robinson (left) and Crystal Blech (2nd from left) saw a need in their community and wanted to make a change.  With FCCLA sponsor Christy Johnson (far right), they began a program to provide coats and hoodies to kids.  Blech says, “We wanted to be the change! So as an FCCLA project we set a goal of $1,000.00 to provide at least 60 Clearwater students with a coat or a hoodie.”  Not only did they meet the $1000 goal, they exceeded it by $175.00. “We greatly appreciate the donations from School Sisters of Notre Dame, O’Reilly Auto Parts, Piedmont Rotary, Trinity United Methodist Women, Doug Aud, a few private donors, and a big thank you to Bob and Dee Kushner (middle of photo) for all of their support and help throughout this process.”

Ananda and Crystal take their motivation from Proverbs 14:31 in the bible, ” ‘To help the poor is to honor God.’ So thank you all for your generous donations and help with our project. We could never fully put into words how much we appreciate it!”

All seniors and their parents are invited Thursday, October 20 to attend a FAFSA Frenzy being held 3:30 – 6:30 pm in the CHS Library.

FAFSA Frenzy helps thousands of Missouri students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid every year. The FAFSA is the primary form used by federal, state, and institutional financial assistance programs in determining an individual’s eligibility for grants, loans, work-study, and scholarships.

Students who attend a FAFSA Frenzy event will receive:

• Free professional assistance completing the 2017-18 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
• Free information regarding federal student aid programs and Missouri state aid programs.
• The chance to win a scholarship for attendance in a Missouri postsecondary program for the fall 2017 term.

What to bring to a FAFSA Frenzy event:

• Student and parent FSA ID information.
• List of schools to which the student has applied, been accepted, or is interested in attending.
• Student and parent 2015 W-2 forms and/or tax return copies. Parental information is required for most undergraduate students under the age of 24. (The definition of “Dependent Student” may be found in the glossary.)

The Clearwater Lady Tigers will take on the Greenville Lady Bears in the first round of the district tournament held in Puxico on Monday, October 17.  Game time is 6:30 pm.
