TLC which is a club that offers leadership and community service opportunities for high school students who pledge to be substance free, is having a children’s book drive beginning Monday, November second and it goes until Friday, November 13.
            TLC is asking students and staff to bring gently used children’s books to their advisement periods over the next two weeks. The children’s books will be donated to Blank Children’s Hospital.
            To make the donation even more successful, TLC will be providing donuts to the top three advisement groups who donate the most books in the two weeks.  
Junior Tara Huberty is the club Vice President of TLC this year and is looking forward to this year’s community service activities. Tara has been a member of TLC for two years now and works with around 20 other students to make the community better.
            “We see what people are interested in, some people want to do Meals of the Heartland or do different activities with the elementaries and then we have to contact people in charge and go from there,” said Huberty.

            On top of donations, TLC also contributes to the community by visiting the fourth graders at the elementary school to talk to the children about being substance free, they learn how to do make-up and balloon animal techniques so they can visit nursing homes, preschools, elementary fun nights and community events, conduct activities within the school and in the community to promote being substance free and provide services to people who are homeless in the community.
