StuCo to Trick-or-Treat

Spooks and goblins will be out a couple of days early next week, all for a good cause.

The Albany Jr./Sr. High Student Council will be seeking donations for the Albany Chest during their annual Trick-or-Treat For Change project on Sunday, Oct. 29.

The council members will divide into five groups and canvass sections of town dressed in their Halloween best, hoping for donations to assist the Albany Chest raise its goal of $45,000 this year.

In the past, the council has typically has raised $1,000 or more with the event, which is all turned over to the Albany Chest. Last year, the group collected a record $1,700.

StuCo co-sponsor Jenny Scott said that the teams will meet at the high school gym and then spread out around town starting at 5:30 p.m.

Members will gladly accept sparechange,bills,and even checks. However, all checks should be made out directlytotheAlbanyChest and NOT to the school.

“The goal again this year is $1,000, although we wouldliketosetanotherrecord if possible,” Scott said. “The kids enjoy dressing up while doing something really important for the community.”

The sponsor said that she feels it is important for the group to give back to an organization that has affected them so much in the past.

“Giving back to the community is something very important,” she said. “The officershavedecidedtosubmit reports of their projects for judging this year.”

Scott said that the officers attended the annual fall convention in Abilene last week.
