Central Middle 'gives back' to those in need

Students and faculty members at Central Middle School expressed concern for two Central students who recently lost everything in two separate house fires. Central Middle School Stars Taking A Real Stand collected household items and clothing and presented them to the two families. In addition to donations, one Central Middle’s staff member represented St. Mathilda’s Catholic Church’s Ladies’ Auxiliary in presenting both families with monetary contributions.
