Fill the buckets with specified food items and turn in to the SJRBA Association Office. The Association is asking that all buckets be dropped off to their office early in the week of March 8.

RUGGED NEWS: The Hillcrest youth sold over 50 Candy Grams and earned $100 or more toward their mission work. This week they also demolished a house that had burned a few weeks ago. They served at last night’s Valentine’s party and the youth are taking on the responsibility for the $10 transportation cost for each bucket filled. They have been very busy and are to be commended for all their hard work. Way to go guys!
ACADEMY NEWS: The children of Hillcrest Academy had to postpone their Hop a Thon for Jerry’s Kids, (the Muscular Dystrophy Association) until next Friday. If they raise $800, they get to throw a pie in Mrs. Nancy’s face!
