Valentine deliveries to benefit Project Grad

By Sam Waller

Albany High School seniors have one remaining Project Graduation workday to prepare Valentine’s gifts sold in January.

Seniors and their parents will meet at The Feed Store on Sunday, Feb. 13,to finalize gifts for delivery.

Seniors will meet at 7:00 a.m. Monday, Feb. 14, at The Feed Store to pack up gifts, with delivery to begin about 8:00 a.m., according to Project Graduation organizer Kenzie Fair­child. Seniors signed up to participate in delivering gifts will have an excused absence for the periods they miss, Fairchild said.

Previous workdays were held Sunday, Feb. 6, and Wednesday, Feb. 9.

The Valentine’s sale was one of three Project Graduation fundraisers conducted in January.

“We have been so busy with fundraising in January and February,” Fair­child said. “The spaghetti lunch was a huge success.”

Fairchild said another Sunday lunch is planned for mid-March.

“We are going to give the seniors and their parents a short break,” Fairchild said. “They have been out a lot of personal funds to provide ingredients for the fundraisers we have done and put in lots of time.”
