Whereas, in addition to the amount donated to the American Red Cross, the students were able to give $500 to two hurricane evacuees attending Ware Shoals High School; and

Whereas, not stopping with hurricane relief, the Ware Shoals High School Student Council raised $9,314.77 for their Christmas for Kids Campaign. With the money, they purchased Christmas gifts for needy children in the area; and

Whereas, the General Assembly is proud to praise such outstanding young people, and the compassion and benevolence of the students of Ware Shoals High School and the entire Ware Shoals community are to be applauded. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
