Carson HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) Student Organization has been active in the community lately. Recently, they raised $1,200 for Alzheimer's Research and $225 for juvenile diabetes research.
We want to thank the community for your support. Next up for HOSA will be the selling of emergency preparedness kits for a car or office. Keep on the look out for pre-order sales of these kits or purchase one at the CHS craft fair in November.

National Honor Society will be collecting winter coats, scarves, hats and gloves for its annual coat drive until Nov. 15.
These should be in good condition, and only kids' sizes (preteens and younger) are needed.
Bring all winter wear to Mrs. Province in room 229, and points will be given to members who donate. Help out the families in the community by keeping kids warm this winter!
