Junior
high students raise funds for Red Cross
9-28-01
To
the editor:
Lincoln
Junior High School Builders Club, sponsored by the Kiwanis of
Lincoln and Mrs. Carol Gleason of LJHS, raised over $711 for the
American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. The students took
donations from their family, friends, teachers and fellow
students. Mrs. Barb Coffey’s second hour class made red, white
and blue pins and sold them for $1 each. The class raised $164,
which they gave to the Builder’s Club to donate, for a total of
$875.02.
Elise Valdes,
Patty Carmitchel, Brittany Uhlry and Victoria Jones took the money
to the American Red Cross Donation Center and presented the money
to Mrs. Carrie Granitto on behalf of Lincoln Junior High School.
The Builders Club members went to the Logan County Bank with Mrs.
Granitto to
deposit the money in the Red Cross fund.
Thank
you to all students, teachers, staff and community members who
helped make our drive a big success.

Flag stolen
9-27-01
To the editor:
In
these days of despair it really saddens me to know that someone
would stoop so low as to steal the American flag that we had
displayed on the front of our house. We hung the flag there
to show our support to all of the families that were affected on
9-11-01, and today I came home to find that that flag had been
STOLEN!!!!!
I
really hope that the individuals responsible felt that
their need was greater and that it really wasn’t some petty
disagreement between kids on a school bus, as I have been [led] to
believe.
This
particular flag also has a sentimental value. It was laid across
my husband’s uncle’s casket when he passed away. If this
flag was to mysteriously reappear on our front porch, I honestly
believe that no one would say a word — just be happy that it was
returned.
If
there is anything that you can do, I would greatly appreciate it.
