OCS Yard Sale to Raise Money for D.C. Trip

By Lauren Wing

The OCS students will be holding a yard sale in the Brevard High School cafeteria on March 18, 2017. It will be from 8 in the morning until 12 in the afternoon. The proceeds will be going toward their trip to Washington, DC this April.

“It will be indoors so rain or shine, we’re having it,” said Tonya James, who is coordinating the trip to DC.

The students have had other fundraisers in the past weeks and months including a few Zaxby’s events, a night at Burger King, and a doughnut sale. The doughnut sale did not go as well as they had hoped.

“I guess everyone’s New Year’s resolutions are still in effect,” said James.

They are $2,000 away from reaching their goal. With continued support from the community, they should be able to reach their goal fairly quickly.

The Washington, DC trip is an opportunity for the students to experience history in a lifelike way.

“It just provides them the opportunity to have that long-lasting memory that is just so much better than from a textbook,” said James.
