FHS Supports Toys for Tots
Each year, across the nation, members of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve gather new, unwrapped toys for needy children throughout the area. These toys are distributed throughout area social service agencies, including the Salvation Army. The primary goal of this program is to give the message of hope to the needy children that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders. Citizens Against Substance Abuse also known as CASA of Woodford County sponsored a donation box within each school. Fieldcrest High School Student Council discovered the idea of Penny Wars. FHS raised and donated $750 to Toys for Tots. The CASA Coalition was very pleased with the outcome. Overall, CASA collected six full boxes of toys from Metamora, Eureka, Washburn, El Paso- Gridley, Roanoke, and Fieldcrest with the $750 check to present to the Toys for Tots program. Toys for Tots and CASA appreciated all of the donations.

High School Christmas Program
Just wanted to say the High School Christmas Program last night was AMAZING!! 2 thumbs up to Mr. Russel for putting on an awesome program! The choir and band just blew us away with their ability to perform such difficult music. When the choir and band performed together it brought tears to my eyes. They were that good! Keep up the great work kids!! You deserve all the recognition you can get! If you missed it, you missed out on an amazing experience.

A Christmas Present Thank You Santa! Dave
I had sent a question about requiring information on the book Tales From The Trees the history of Minonk. I became interested in this story many years ago. I have read it 2x
getting the book from the library.
Yesterday a package came in the mail. It was a copy of the book! I want to take this moment and thank my "Santa Clause" for sending me this surprise.
To Mr. Spencer: your gift was very generous and the letter expressing your admiration for my father was even more precious. My dad was a great man. When folks bring up his name it makes me proud and moved that he is not forgotten. Our Christmases have decreased in size over the past years. Our routine was to attend church the next morning open presents , enjoy the family time and dinner. This has since changed in the past few years.
This wonderful gesture you did proves the spirit of Christmas. Your act of kindness truly affected me. I am a person who believes good deeds should be paid forward. I will do that.
May you have the return of your generousity come back to you my friend 3 fold. Thank you my Santa Clause. I wish you and your family a wonderful and Merry Christmas. God Bless you and yours. Thank you
