SUN VALLEY PTL - THE GIVING PROJECT

Starting On Wednesday, November 1, 2023 the members of FCCLA will be collecting money for books for a school in Cambodia. This school has special meaning due to one of our current students and several of our past students having a family connection to the school. Please feel free to donate any and all change to any FCCLA members you see walking around with a container labeled, Book for Cambodia. We will be collecting for the month of November. We have a goal of 150.00 but would love to far surpass that goal!!!
