This morning our National Honor Society members and their advisors, Chelsea Burden and Charlotte Smith, collaborated with CASA of Hancock County to fill stockings and wrap gifts for Hancock County children.
Let’s make this FUN! If Van Buren Elementary Students can fill this box two more times for Toys for Tots, two random students will be selected to pie Deputy Crouch in the Face during their lunch time! The deadline is 3:00 PM on December 18th!
Good Luck!
