At Collins Career Center, every student must complete 15 hours of community service before graduation. Ms. Bennett, Pre-Nursing instructor, set-up a project for her classes to do. Each student was responsible for bringing in at least $5.00, and the senior students went shopping for the items needed for the project.

The junior and senior students decided to make “Goody Bags” and to buy supplies needed to decorate pumpkins to take to the Proctorville Head Start center. With the money that was collected, the senior students bought the items needed.

On October 24th, both the junior and senior classes visited the Head Start center. When they arrived, the children were eager to find out what they would be doing. After getting everything organized, each child was given a pumpkin, paint, eyes, and a nose to decorate his or her pumpkin. After they were finished, they went outside for playtime. Each Pre-Nursing student worked one-on-one with a student, and got to know him or her. The students made a total of 40 decorated pumpkins and goody bags for the Head Start. Everyone had a great time, and the juniors and seniors completed a successful community service project.
