The pictured Interact Club students (minus 2) held 50/50 raffles at the Middle School boys basketball and girls volleyball games. The $1200.00 generated from their efforts were divided between the three food pantries that serve families in our communities. The A-Town Interact Club is honored to support the efforts of the food pantries to help the families in our communities.
The AAMS scholastic bowl meet for today is being rescheduled for a later date.
