LECENTER HIGH SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS
December 1 marks a day of volunteering for the Le Center BPA chapters! Ten volunteers took a break from their daily activities at school to volunteer their time bell ringing for The Salvation Army at various locations. Students were both excited and humbled by the experience and had a lot of fun sharing with one another the generous gifts of local patrons.

BENSON BPA MEMBERS HOLD COAT DRIVE
The Benson Business Professionals of America held a local coat drive in October. The students advertised to the community through the Swift County Monitor News and our school website to collect coats for those in need. With the help of the community and Benson High School students, they collected four large boxes of coats for donation. The coats were donated to the local Prairie Five and became available for community members in need. We were happy to hear that almost every donated coat has been received by someone without proper winter attire.
