We want to thank everyone that came out to support the softball team during Saturday’s scavenger hunt! The event was a big success, and fun was had by all. Thanks to your generosity, we also collected several bags and cans of dog and cat food, which will be donated to the local animal shelter.
Junior High students worked together on Friday to serve their community in the morning and then held their semester competition in the afternoon. Teams helped at Anderson Woods, Oakwood, Derby Park, a local golf-course and school! They also held a bake sale and car wash for a donation to the Ronald McDonald House. The afternoon was a mean game of capture the flag, art competition, video game competition and a dunk tank! What a great day!

If you would like to order Hershey kisses for a senior, please contact Kelly Cash kcash@pccommodores.org or 812-843-5121 or any Key Club member. Hershey kiss bags are $3.00 each and will be delivered to seniors the last week of school.
